I'm his annual report Secretary Taft
devOtes considerable space to Il
defense and an explanation of the
course OF the war department in
connection with the discharge without
honor of the battalion OF the Twenty
fifth infantry (colOred5. which was sta
toned ut Brownsville. Tex. last SUM
mer. The secretary details the events
of the night OF Aug. Is, involving the
shooting up Of the town of Browns
vile by anywhere from nine to TWEEN
ty members of this battalion lie
states that last June objections were
made to the stationing of this battaI-
ion ut Fort Brown by Il resident of
Brownsville in Il letter transmitted to
the war department thro Ugh Senator
c. \. Culjerson Of Texas. After ex-
plairinS ia letter To the senator why
the negro troops were sent To Browns
vile despite the protests Of citizens
of that place the secretary proceeds:
The battalion was accordingly sent
TO Fort Brown in command of Major
G. W. PenrJsc and arrived there July
IS. 1906. Soon after its arrival uufOr-
tunate differences arose between the
enlisted men and some townspeople.
As is usual in such cases. there was
contradictory evidence as to the cause
for the troubles. though they We're
doubtless due primarily TO the resent
ment of certain of the toynSpeople at
the proximity of negro battalion.
The feeling Of the enlisted men was
also aroused by discrimination in
sisted on in most of the saloons of the
town, in which separate bars We're
provided for them. No serious injury
was done to any of the colored sol
diers, although one of them was knock
ed down by q government official nam
ed Tate with n dubbed revolver for
JOSJIIng ms WE. as he charged, and
another was pushed off a gangplank
by a customs inspector into the mud
Of the Rio Grande because drunk and
disorderIy. as it was claimed.
''On the 10Th of August it was re
ported in Brownsville that Il white
woman was seized by the hair by
cOlored soldier and dragged on the
ground. This report among the towns
people caused great bitterness and eX-
element OF feeling. which gave such
concern to the officers OF the battalion
that on the night of the same day they
sent patrols into the town TO bring
back their soldiers TO the fort. \ few
minutes after II o'clock midnight OF
the next day. Aug. 13-i. e., on the |
morning of Aug. 1f-shots were fired |
in the fort toward the town from the !
of each barrack of the |
three companies. The fort is really in |
the town and only separated from the !
houses by n wall. The first shots seem |
to have been fired in the air. Imme- |
diately afterward n number of men, |
variously estimated from nine to TWEEN !
", climbed over the wall between the |
fort and the town There was much |

Duty of NOncOmmissioned Officers.

Duty of NOncOmmissioned Officers.
Much sympathy has been evoked for
those who have been so long in the
public service as some of the noncom-
missioned officers and others of this
battalion of the Twenty-ffth infantry.
1t is TO be said with respect TO these
noncommissioned officers that upon
them especially falls the duty of MAIN
tanning the discipline of the cOmpa-
MES and the battalion ana that by
reason of their long service and from
their official authority they have more
influence over the men and more op-
portunity to learn the circumstances
leading to 4 detection of the guilty in
this case than any others connected
with the regiment Indeed it was their
peculiar duty to find out and disclose
the facts, but they have failed to do
so.
The suggestion made in some quar-
tiers that this battalion has been treat
ed in this way simply because the men
are colorcd hardly merits notice. The
fact of their color and the racial feel
ing aroused between them and the
citizens of Brownsville may have been
the cause and furnished the motive,
but certainly not justification for
the plot to murder men, women and
children. but to this extent only in eX-
PLANTATION of the circumstances is the
fact of their color at all relevant.
1T is possible that evidence may be
adduced in future which Will tend to
eXculpate entirely some of the men
now discharged, both from participa-
ton in the crime and assistance in the
conspiracy of silence to prevent the
detection of the offenders. and when
ever such facts are shown in respect
to any one affected by the order they
will be brought to your attention and,
/ understand, viii render such persons
eligible to re-enlistment.'

WHY TAFT DEFENDS THE
DISCHARGE OF NEGRO TROOPS

undischarged cartridges were found
| upon the streets of the town the next
| morning, and Major Penrose, COM
manding the battalion, then identified
| them as ammunition for the new sery-
ice rife and reluctantly admitted their
conclusive weight as evidence that the
shooting was done by some of his men.
"SIIooting Up the Town.
1.-THE raiders advanced up an alley
leading from the fort through the town
and first fired into the room of a house
on the alley at the end of the first
block, in which were two women and
five children. one of the bullets knock
ed over and put out Il lighted lamp-on
the table in the room. Ten shots were
fired. nearly all going through the
house at about four and half feet
above the floor. The raiders then en-
countere1 the chief of police on Il
horse. lie had heard the shooting and
hurried toward the sound. When he
saw the soldiers. the number Of whom
lie estimated To be fifteen. he turned
and tried to escape. They fired on
him. killed his horse and wounded him
in the arm so that it had To be ampU-
tated. Two policemen who had vepa
rated from him were also SHOT az. y
bullet pierced the hat of one of them.
The raiders then fired into Miller's ho-
tel on the alley ut the end of the sec
Ond block. Six bullet holes We're found
in the hotel the next day.
The party then divided. One SQUAD
proceeded farther down the alley to
the third block toward Il saloon. where
the colored men must drink at scpa-
rate bar. The barkeeper heard them
coming and attempted to close che
loor, but was shot and instantly killed
near the door The fatal wound was
declared by competent surgeon with
army experience to have been made by
q bullet of the caliber of those used
in The service rifle. \ Mexican in the
same saloon WAS shot in the hand.
The other squad shot into Il house next
to the house of the man who had. as
already related. knocked down one of
the enlisted men with Il revolver. The
shots We're all aimed at about five or
six feet above the floor and went
through the mosquito bars in which
woman and two children We're sleep
ing. Bullet marks We're found on other
houses in the neighborhood. There
was much evidence of expressions ut
tered by the raiders as they advanced
and shot. Indicating their malicious
and murderouS intent.
Officers Take Prompt Action.
''The first volley awakened many of
the sleeping garrison and attracted the
attention of the sentinel. who discharg-
ed his gun three times and called the
guard. The sergeant of the guard call
ed out the guard, and then he directed
the call to arms to the battalion. The
bugle sounded, and the men rushed tt
the gun racks, which the SergeantS and
cOrpOrals in charge say had not beer
opened until they opened them with
the keys which had been in their pos
session for more than twelve hours

"Third.-Instead of giving to their Off
GERS or to the military inspectors who
were directed to make the examination
the benefit of anything which they knew
tending to lead TO u conviction Of the
guilty persons there was a conspiracy
of silence on the part Of the many who
must have known something of impor-
tancc in this regard. Thus the murderers
were taken back into the battalion and
protected entirely from punishment.
Under these circumstances the ques-
ton arises. Is the government help
less? Must it continue in its service 4
battalion many of the members Of
which show their willingness to con-
done crime of capital character
committed by from ten TO twenty of its
members and put on n front of silence
and ignorance which enables the Grim
inals to escape just punishment These
enlisted men took the. oath of ale
glance to the government and were to
be used under the law to maintain its
supremacy. Can the government prop
erly, therefore keep in its employ for
the purpose of maintaining law and or
der any longer 4 body of men from TO
10 per cent of whom can plan ana com
nit murder and rely upon the silence
of Il number of their companions to
escape detection?
Whole Battalion Useless.
at may be that in the battalion are
number of men wholly innocent who
know neither who the guilty men AZ
nor any circumstances which viii aid
in their detection. though this cannot
be true of many. Because there may he
innocent men in the battalion must the
government continue to use it TO guard
communities of men. women ana chill
dren when it contains so dangerous an
clement impossible of detection? Ger
tainly not. The only means Of Kidding
the military service of a band of would
he murderers of women and children
and actual murdCrerS of one man is
the discharge of the entire battalion.
1T is Il mistake to suppose that this
order is in itself a punishment either
of the. innocent or of the guilty.
discharge would be an utterly made
quate punishment for those who are.
guilty whether of committing the muir
der or OF Withholding or suppressing
evidence which would disclose the per-
petratorS of such 4 crime. The use
of the word penalty in the proceedings
is Il mere misnomer and is unfOrtu
nate The dismissal from the service
of the members of this battalion under
the circumstances is not punishment,
however great the hardship. There
is dismissal technically known as
dishonorable discharge. which is only
imposed by sentence by a court. This
is Il punishment But the members of
this battalion We're not dishonorably
discharged. They could not have been
