fed with Missouri, Kansas and Texas

TO LISTEN TO ANY NEW
FACTS PRESENTED.

the soldiers of three companies OF
the Twenty-f1fth infantry. who were

before President Roosevelt during the
day when Charles w. Anderson, col
lector OF internal revenue at New
York, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary
to Booker 4. Washington, called upon
him In behalf of the discharged men.
They made an earnest argument In
behalf of the claims Of the innocent
men of the companies, who want to be
reinstated. They had no particular
programme of action to present to the
president and the latter gave no indi-
cation Of what his future course might
be except to reiterate his statement

BY THE UPPER HOUSE or
PARLIAMENT.

London, Nov. 28.-The intensity OF
the political feeling aroused by the
house of lords treatment of the edu-

emergency meeting of the general
committee Of the National Liberal fed
Grafton, at which resolution was
unanimously adopted urging the gov

totally rejecting the lords amend
ments to the bill and to "resolutely
determine that the present parliament
shall not come to an end until steps
are taken to bring to final arbitra-
ment the question whether the house
of peers should any longer possess
the right of veto on the will of the
people as declared by the house OF
commons"
The meeting was the largest and
most representative of It's kind which
had assembled during the last twenty
years.
The speakers warmly denounced
the action of the peers, declaring that
the house of commons should not
waste another day In considering the
amendments to the bill, which should
be returned to the house Of lords with
out debate, and that the Liberal gov
ernment ought to apply the only rem
edy, which must be drastic and final.

Against CoIored Soldiers.
Ell Reno, Okla, Nov. 28.-Gilchrist
Stewart (colored), who has been at
Fort Reno the past few days securing
data to be placed as evidence before
President Roosevelt in the matter of
the discharge of the negro soldiers OF
the Twenty-fifth infantry. said:
"The substance of my investigation,
supported by over 100 affidavits from
the members and non-commissioned
officers of the companies and from the
statement of the officers of the COM
panies amounts to this:
'First-That the citizens did not
want negro soldiers in Brownsville,
Tex.
'Second-That this feeling became
SO intense that on the very night In
question Major Penrose issued an Or
der and sent out patrols through the
town that all men should be In by 8
o'clock whether on pass or not and
Captain Mackin, officer Of the day, re-
ported that all men were In except
three on pass.
'Third-That the firing that night
was of mixed arms.
"All the inspectors sent out from
the war department have started out
with the assumption that there was
conspiracy among the men to keep
back the truth and shoot up the town.
They have never made any investiga-
tion into the real facts. From the In
vestigation there was undoubtedly
conspiracy to make case against
the soldiers and get them out OF the
town. Six sergeants OF long service.
