Damaging Evidence Against Men

spected-GriRth CorroborateS.

Galveston. Tex. Dec 29-Damaging tes-
timony against the negro soldiers in the
Brownsville outrage has been produced
by United States District Attorney Marco
McLemore. who made an investigation
right after The shooting up Of the town.
In his statement he says about twenty
shots were fired from the sccond-story
windows of the barracks at the homes Of
Fred Tate and Louis Cowan. This assault
was intended fo- the home of Tate. "a
government Inspector. who defended a
woman from assault by a negro soldier
by pummeling the black.
The course OF these bullets proves con
cIusiveIy the firing was done from an
elevation of twelve feet or more.
The charge is also made that nearly ten
hours elapsed after the officers were noti-
fed Of the soldiers attack upon the citi-
zeus before the guns of the battalion
were inspected; that at least twenty guns
had been removed from the racks. and
number Of them had been cleaned during
the night
Mr.. McLemore scores the white officers
for not holding the corporal in charge OF
the locks of the gun racks and the sen-
tries TO account. He has evidence show
ing the first shots To have been fired
from the garrison. the movement of the
soldiers through the town, and their re-
turn 10 the barracks. McLemore pro
duces evidence, and says it could have
been procured by the officers had they
