BEEF WAS BAD.
Sixty Three Army Officers from Mrjtr
General LnWt0n DenOnuCe L..

General Lawt0n Den0nuce It.
Washington, Jan. 25 Reports cf
63 officers, representing more than
a dozen regiments, scores OF com
pauies and thousands OF soldiers,
were to night laid before the special
investigating commission, furnish
ing overwhelming proof that the
men in the army were made victims
of an outrageous beef scandal.
Major and Brigadier generals,
colonies, MAJORS, captains, sargeants.
lieutepauts and members of hospital
and medicinal stats join in declar-
ing, in their reports upon army beef
that it was totally unfit for use
Corned beef escapes without great
censure, but the canned roast beef
and the so called fresh beef with
which the soldiers were served is
denounced without exception.
According to the evidence placed
in the hands of the commission the
beef was unfit for use. It was taste
less and pauseating; all Of which was
striugy and devoid of nourishment;
none of the soldiers would eat it ex
cept from extreme necessity, and
many of those who did were made
sick thereby Great quantities of
the beef were thrown away and
Major j. III. Lee, who served as a
sanitary inspector in the camp at
Montauk Point, recommended that
large lots be removed ''as sanitary
measures"
Neither climate nor transportation
according to ts-day's evidence, can
be held responsible for the quality
or condition of the beef served to
the army. The testimony Of the 63
officers shows that it was uniformly
bad in Cuba, Porto Rico, at the
southern camps in this country and
at Montauk Point. The evidence
also indicates strongly that all of
the nourishing qualities of the beef
were taken out before it was sent to
the soldiers, and these nourishing
qualities saved by the great packing
companies and sold as extract of
beef"
In other words, the members of
the Big -Four" beef combine in Chi
caeo extracted the beef juice for use
in the manufacture Of beef tea and
shipped the refuse to ths American
army in Cuba and Porto Rico
Major General Henry W Lawton,
writing in October, declared that
the bsef was of such quality that
the men still were refusing to eat it,
and that it had been decided not to
issue any more of IT.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt wrote
that the canned roast beef was
practically worthless" and the pres
ent governor of New York, speaking
generally of the beef served to the
troops declared:
The meat ration was SO bad ger
orally as to be inedible.
