IN FAVOR OF TROOPS

ALLEGED TO HAVE CAUSED

Washington, Dec. 12.-GiIchrist
Stewart, representing the Constitution
al League and las Of the soldiers, and
Rev. DR.. Charles Morris. the pastor Of
the Abyssinian Baptist church of New
York city, are in Washington In the
interest Of the battalion Of soldiers of
the Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, who
were discharged without honor" as q
result of the affair at Brownsville,
Tex. Mr.. Stewart has a large amount
of evidence which he presented to the
president through Secretary Loeb.
The president is preparing his an
swer to the senate resolution calling
for information regarding the dis
charged soldiers.
Mr.. Stewart said the evidence he
presented to the president embraced
172 affidavits showing that within five
minutes after Major Penrose ordered
the "call to arms" every man of the
battalion answered the roll call "and
was under the direct supervision of
the white officer who verified the roll
call. making it impossible for substi-
tutions; that all Of the officers and
men thought the firing was of mixed
arms and that the fort was being at
tackled by certain element in the
city which had threatened to drive the
colored soldiers out of the city,
Attempt Made to Harm Soldiers.
Mr.. Stewart says the atfidavits show
Major Penrose ordered the three COM
panies in a position of defense on the
walls of the fort, each company sup.
porting the other, Company C staying
on guard all night. He contends that
the evidence makes it clear that an
attempt was made not only to do the
soldiers bodily harm and failing in
that, an effort was made to lay the
blame upon the soldiers by shooting
up. the town and then getting govern.
ment cartridges and clips from the
target practice grounds and scattering
them along the streets.
He says the affidavits show that it
would have been impossible for any
soldier to have gotten back into the
lines without being seen by the white
officers and adds that there were
threats by citizens to shoot colored
soldiers after II o'clock on the night
of the difficulty; that citizens were
dressed in khaki uniforms and regula-
tion hats and carried rifles, being seen
on the streets that night In two
squads. one of four men and one of
five.
The men are asking as the result of
these amdavits that there be con-
gressional investigation by a commit
tee having power to subpoena wit
nesses or that the president take steps
to restore them to the army without
prejudice

have acted with restraint than she could
fly. Paula Tan querdy is a very realizable
character to the woman of to-day, vino has
reached a very high nervous tension. She
is absolutely foreign to the stolid, placid
type of former times. 3
Camille does not appeal to the moden
playgoer, unless she is played by a Bern
hardt or a Duse. AS she is written in the
play she is too obvious, too simple. Dumas
could not have written her differently, nor
could he write a Paula Tanqueray, for he
represented the conditions of his genera
ton.
There are W difficulties that confront
the dramatist to-day. The first and greatest
is Characterization.
Il do not believe that a man can develop
that faculty any more than he could de-
velop the faculty to write a symphony;
there must be the primordial germ in his
makeup. 1t can be developed by writing
of other kinds, by observation, by sym
npthy, but he cannot create it; it must be
Inherent.
And Characterization means something
more in the play than it does in the book.
There you nave four or five hundred pages
to tell what you wish. But in a play the
character must be delineated in such sharply
drawn lines that it will carry over the foot
light and be convincing to the gallery,
Just as soon as you bring a character on
the stage and in contact with other char
