AS TO THE DISCHARGED SOLDIERS.

In support of the position which the
president has taken In ordering the dis
mlssal without honor OF the three COM
panies OF the Twenty-ilfth infantry
some OF whose members were concerned
IN the Brownsville riot, the war de-
partment has made public the reports
of Maj n. p. Blocksom. Lieut. Col

Darlington. who investigated the trou-
bic and recommended the discharge OF
all the members OF the companies
That the president intends to stand
firm upon the action he has taken, re-
gardless OF criticism and appeals, was
indicated by a cablegram which Secy.
Taft received from him from Ponce,
says the Army ana Navy Register.
The president declines 10 suspend the
discharge unless there are new facts of
such Importance as 10 warrant cabling
him.
The following statement Of the presi-
dents position was given out by the
war department..
"a telegram was received from the
president at II o'clock today, after the
previous statement WAS given out at
the war department, In which he de-
clines 10 suspend the discharge unless
there are new facts OF such importance

ed States.'"
This recommendation was originally
made by Maj. Blocksom who made the
first investigation. The reeommenda-
ton was coneurred In by Gen. CARING
ton.
TN reiterating the causes which led
to the riot at Brownsville, Maj. Block
som says that the soldiers heard they
were not to go TO Camp Mabry beoausu
Texas troops had threatened to use ball
cartridges In the maneuyers. The peo-
pie did not desire colored troops there
and the soldiers OF the Twenty-fftn
were not allowed TO drink with the
white people at the principal bars in
the town. He also recltes the incident
OF the two white women being lnsulted
on the street by negro soldiers, and this
indignity by a negro soldier who selzeS
a Mrs Evans by the hair and threw her
violently to the ground. This incident,
occurring on Aug. ~, Infamed and in
furiated the citizens. The cancelling OF
passes and the sending out OF patrols
which followed. Nal Blocksom says.
probably increased the resentment OF
the soldiers against the people or
Brownsville.
Continuing, Mai. Blocksom described
the raid on the town. He says that
from the evidence obtaInable his belief
is that the first shots we're fred be-
tween Company Il barracks and the
wall separating the post from the town.
A number OF shots were fred into the
air for the purpose Of creating an
alarm. The soldiers. nine to Is, possibly
more, Jumped from the wall and start
ed through town. There 10 no reliable
evidence, he says, to support the claim
that the first shot came from the town.
The raiders FIRST struck house owned
by man named Cowan. There were
two women and Ave children In It,
II Is a miracle, says Maj. Block
som, that some OF them were not shot.
The raiders could not help knowing
that they had not gone to bed. About
ten shots we're fired, nearly all going
through the house. One shot put out
