anl above all to the women and chill ,dren of the nation.
 Unless this duty is well performed, the army becomes a mere dangerous mob; and if conduct such as that of the murderers in question is not, where possible, punished, and, where this is not possible, unless the chance of it's repetition is guarded against in the most thorough-going fashion, 1t would be better that the entire army should be dlsbanded. It is vital to the army to be imhued with the spirit which will make every man in it, and above all the officers and non-commissioned off, cers, feel it is a matter of highest ob- ligation to discover and punish and not to shield, the criminal in uniform.
 Throughout my term of service in the presidency I have acted on the principle of no discrimination, In pre- cisely the same spirit I have now act ed with reference to these colored men. who have been guilty of black and dastardly crime. In one policy, as in the other, I do not claim as favor, but i challenge as right the support Of ev- cry citizen of this country, whatever his color, provided only he has in him the spirit of genuine and far-sighted patriotism"
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-12-20

'It appears that in Brownsville, the city immediately beside which Fort Brown is situated, there had been con siderable feeling between the citizens and the colored troops of the garrison companies. Difficulties had occurred, there being a conflict of evidence as to whether the citizens or the colored troops were to blame. My impression is that, as a matter of fact, In these difficulties there was blame attached to both sides; but this Is wholly un- important matter for our present pur- pose, as nothing that occurred offered in any shape or way an excuse or justi- fication for the atrocious conduct of the troops when, in lawless and mur- derous spirit, and under cover of the night, they made their attack upon the citizens.
 The evidence proves conclusively that number of the soldiers engaged in deliberate and concerted attack, as cold-b blooded as it was cowardly; the purpose being to terrorize the commun- ity, and to kill or injure men, women and children in their homes and beds or on the streets, and this at an hour of the night when concerted or effective resistance or defense was out of the question, and when detection by iden- tif1cation of the criminals in United States uniform was well-night impossi- ble, So much for the original crime. A blacker never stained the annals of our army. It has been supplemented by another, only less black, in the shape of a successful conspiracy of silence for the purpose of shielding those who took part in the original conspiracy of murder
 Under any ordinary circumstances the first duty of the non-commissioned officers, is to train the private in the ranks so that he may be an efficient fighting man against a foreign foe. But there is an even higher duty, so obvi- ous that it is not under ordinary cir cumstances necessary to even allude to 1.-the duty of training the soldier so that he may be a protection and not a menace to his peaceful fellow citizens,
