VERACI1Y \.
OF Two Army
Officers :.
u in Question by Reason Of the
Brownsville Evidence-Block-
.'< som is Badly Muddled.

Washington, May 27.-Major A.
P. Blockson, Of the Inspector Gen
erals Department of the army, who
made the first investigation Of the
ARRAY at Brownsville for the War
Department was on the stand prac-
ticallySaH OF today.
- His direct examination was a re-
cital Of his inspection of the situa-
tion at Ft.G Brown and a description
Of the bullet holes in Brownsville
houses. On cross-examination Sena-
tor Foraker called the attention Of
the Witness to; the testimony of Lieu-
tenant H. C. Lackie, OF the Twenty
sixth Infantry, who said that he had
sighted along a groove made by a
bullet which struck the Yturria
house, and the bullet could not have
been fired from the barracks. This
statement. directly. controverted the
testimony Of Major Blocksom and
he said that Lieutenant Lackie must
have testified falsely. This has rails
ed the issue of veracity between the
two officers. Mr.. Lackie, who was
ordered recalled several, days ago, ar
rived at the committee room today
just as an adjournment was taken.
Other witnesses whose testimony was
doubted by Major Blocksom are-Pris
vate Howard, the sentinel on duty at
the barracks on the night Of the
shooting, and Matias Tomayo, a Mex
lean, who was occupied at-the bar
racks when the shooting began, both
OF whom declared that no shots were
fired into the town from the bar.
racks. = ...- ... --. ..... .-.... .-.--.-.-.
Major Blocksom discoursed for an
thnncfno ri no 1lx
as to how the Negroes could have
done the shooting and escaped de.
lection. At the Penrose Court-mar-
tial he testified that there is decid-
ed difference between the bullet used
in Krag-Jorgson cartridge and the
bullet used in the Springfield cart.
ridge. Senator Foraker took a Krag
and a Springfield cartridge in his
hand hiding all except the bullets
and asked the witness to pick out
the Springfield. He selected the
Krag instead. It, was then shown
there is no difference in the bullets.
Another point Ion which Major
Blocksom contradicted all : Of the
Negro vi taeSs seR MAS The tim e. raqnige
e6<to% eleanSe an army: rife that had
been shot ten or a dozen times. He
was positive the gun could be cleaned
in two minutes. He was sure also
that the gun could have been cleaned
while the men we're moving in the
dark. = He said he had had no expert
ehce In cleaning guns, however.
William Foster, Brownsville
dtayman, testified that he heard
Voschel, boss Of the corral at the
garrison, say that he hoped the Me-
groes would go into the town and
shoot 1t up. This statement Is al
legged to fhave been made after one
OF the Negroes had trouble with a
citizeti.. Foster claimed also to have
heard Voschelg remark in Hillman's s
saloon that when pay day came the
Negroes would go into town and
shoot 1t up, and that he would go
with them. Voschel was an impor-
tant witness for Senator Foraker, In
that he testified that he heard bullets
whistle over the military reservation,
indicating that the attack was being
made upon the fort. '...
