In the Swain court-martial yesterday Rich
ard Brown, colored, testified that he was EN-
ployed by Bateman as butler and by Swain as
driver from January to May inclusive), 1883.
He frequently drove double team for Swain,
and Bateman told witness the horses were
Swaims. Without concluding his crOss-eyam-
1nation the court adjourned.
PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY-THE COLOR QUESTION
Upon the reading of the record of yesterday
proceedings in the Swain court this morning,
Mr.. Boutwell,, of counsel for the accused called
the attention of the court to the fact that the
witness, Brown, who was called for the defense
yesterday, was described in the record as 'Rich-
ard Brown (coloredl. He objected to such a

any other citizen, and should be described
who were witnesses are described. He said that
he would like to have the court recognize
there and now" in this matter the supremacy
OF the fundamental law of the Land which has
placed all citizens upon an equality. 1T is due
to the witness, and to the character of the gov
ernment," said the counsel, that there should
be no statement on the record as to whether OF
not this man is q cOlOred man."
The judge advocate said that the word colored
had been placed after the name OF the witness
by the reporter without any instruction from
him, as 1t was placed after the names of all the
colored men who were witnesses for the prose.
cution. He said he did not think there was any
necessity for changing the record.
Major General Schofield, the president of the
court, said that the court will take the matter
under consideration. He added: at is GER
tainly not necessary to raise the question OF
equal rights of witnesses before this court. No
body would entertain the possibility Of any
such distinction"
Gen. GrosvenOr, who was counsel for Gen.
Swain in the first trial, was then called as q
witness by the defense, and testified that in the
summer and fall Of 1882, upon authorization
by Gen. Swain, he purchased two horses fol
him and shipped them to this city with a car.

when notified that the horses had been sent
said that he did not want any horses, and the
two were sold in Richmond.
