said an old soldier, because of the
brutality of the negro soldiers toward
him, took his grand army button from
his coat and with-tears in his eyes
threw 1t away. Cornell said he made
o memorandum of the affair. The
book was taken from him, and he saw
1t afterward in the possession of Bart
lett Sinclair, the governors repre-
sentative Sinclair, who was present
declared there was no such soldier as
described. Lentz protested against
statements not under oath, and gave
notice that he would call on Sinclair
TO produce all his books to locate this
alleged soldier entry. Chairman
Hull interposed to remind Lentz that
he was not the entire committee, and
was not in position, individually, to
order the production of the books.
Lentz asked the committee to make
the request. and without objection
this was done. Lentz also moved
that the committee call for all the
rolls. records. ETC., showing the
names of those held in the bull pen"

committee went into executive ses-
sion to pass upon the motion.
