FORAKER ON DISCHARGE
OF C0L0RED TROOPS,

Washington, Dec. 20, --Immediately
after the senate convened today Sena-
tor Foraker's resolution looking TO an
investigation by the senate OF the presi-
dents discharge OF the three negro
companies OF the Twenty-iifth infan-
try was taken M and Senator Foraker
addressed the senate In It's support. He
began with the broad declaration that
the president misconcelve his consti-
tutl0nal powers when he discharged the
troops and he also mlsconceived the
testimony on which his action was
based"
Mr.. Foraker said that the presidents
constitutional power was simply to
command the army and navy as COM
mander-in- chief, while TO Congress the
Constitution gave power to raise armies
and to make rules and regulations for
It's government.
me regulations prescribed that no
man could De summarily discharged
without a right TO be tried and the arti.
Giles OF way he argued, prescribed mi
nutely how these trials are TO be con-
Quoted, that all punIshments should be
IN accordance with the directions of
courts-martial. He contended after
reading at length from the article of
war II was inconoeivable that THE presi-
dent should be absolutely without re-
straint.
The president he said stated In his
message that these soldiers were guilty
OF nutlny and had been discharged for
that reason. He followed this with the
article OF war providing that court
martial should direct this punishment.
This was all 20 guard against the ex-
erclse OF an autocratic power. Congress
to provide against excessive punish
ment had limited the penalties,
When Senator Foraker concluded his
remarks on his negro troops resolution
In the mate today he received unani-
nous consent To modify the resolution
SO that IL now directs the senate COM
mittee on military affairs to investigate
the circumstances leading up TO the dis
charge Of the negro troops.
Mr. Lodge replied bf fly to Mr.. For
aker's speech and SeL.tor Scott re-
marked that as he had read the history
OF the spanish American war; the
Tenth cavalry tcoloredl Was largely re-
sponsible for the preservation OF the
rough riders. III Il had not been for
the cavalry we might not today have
the privilege OF having that gallant sol
der that splendid president today In
the White House," he added
The resolution OF Mr.. Foraker goes
over without action until after the holi-
day recesE.
