Iieve in Ambiguity.
CRrTICIsEs sENATE's ACTION.
II the President Had Exceeded His
Authority in Brownsville Affair he
Should be Observation-Disclosures
of Soldiers Doesn't Enter Into the
Question.

Washington, January 2G.-Represen-
tative Sims, of Tennessee. wants the
house to get squarely on record in
favor Of the President for his action
in dismissing three companies of the
25th infantry from the military ser
vice Of the United States. He sa10
today in the lower branch of congress
that by a unanimous vote of the Ten
nessee Legislature, the presidents
course was endorsed and he had there
fore introduced a joint resolution CON-
mending the president in his position.
He said the resolution had been refer
red to the military Offairs committee,
which he believed would act upon the
resolution favorably. If it should noS
he would recommend that the commit
tee be discharged and he would bring
the whole matter before the house for
discussion.
In another body of congress" Mr..
Sims asserted, "an ambiguous Tesoiu-
ton has been passed which challenged
the propriety, if not the authority OF
the president to take the action he
did. In the debates his constitutional
authority has been challenged"
IF the president had exceeded his con-
stitutional authority. said Nh. Sims,
"he was subject to Impeachment, and
such proceedings must be commenced
in the house of representatives,
In view Of the resolution passed by
the senate, neither admitting or deny
ing the presidents authority, but sim
ply providing for an investigation OF
the facts. Mr.. Sims thought it proper
the house should express itself.
1t was not his purpose, Mr.. Sims as
serted, to discuss the punishment o.
the discharged soldiers, that question
should not be considered in connection
with the matter. 'The action of the
President was not TAKEN" asserted
Mr.. Sims, "as a matter of punishment,
but as a matter OF discipline"
