OUTRAGERS OF BROWNS
VILE 60 SCOTT FREE.

The grand jury has adjourned
without finding a single 'indict-
ment against any of the negro
soldiers of the Infamous Twenty
Fifth, and today the twelve who
were held prisoners on charge of
completely in the dastardly outrage
committed against Brownsville on
the night of August 18th have
doubtless been turned loose and
permitted to join their command at
Fort Reno. The grand jury could
not in reason return indictments
against these prisoners, as after
four weeks investigation and
vainly waiting for the arrival of
Captain Mcdonald, on whose aft
davits the arrests were made, they
were utterly unable to identify the
criminals.
That some, if not all of those
prisoners were guilty, there can be
hardly the shadow of a doubt.
Major Penrose himself admitted to
Captain Mcdonald that the latter
had arrested six of the right men.
1t would seem that this admission
on Maj. Penrose's part should
have been sufficient ground to re-
quire his being sub-poened as a
witness in the investigation but
such was not done.
Be that as it may. however,
as the matter now stands, these
fenis who have so foully dis
graced the United States army
uniform have gone scott free
free to outrage white women and
to murder and terrorize white citi-
sens at will, unrestrained by the
incompetent, or perhaps it may not
be too much to say the unprincipled,
white officers who are nominally
in command of them.
1t seems incredible that the
white citizens of Brownsville, as
we'll as of the great state of Texas,
should submit calmly, with scarce
iy a murmur to this condition,
which should be intolerable to
every white man who has even a
drop of red blood in his body. Can
nothing be done to bring these uni
uniformed thugs to justice-to
avenge the cruel outrage inflicted |
upon this innocent town? Aud will |
the United States government, and |
the United States army, |
do nothing to wipe out the black
and disgraceful stain upon the
record of the army which the enor-
nous crime of the Infamous TWEEN
tv-hfth has placed upon If?
