TEST CASE TO BE MADE.
Negro Soldiers Are Trying to Establish
 Legality of Discharge.

New York, December 26.-Papers in g case to test the legality of the discharge of the privates of Companies B, c and D of the Twenty-fifth United States in- fantry (colored), following the disorder ir the streets of Brownsville, Tex, a year ago, have been prepared by the law firm of Ward, Mellen & Woodbridge of this city.
 The lawyers do not make public the names of the persons by whom they have been retained. simply saying that they live In New England, and believe that the discharge of these men from the service of the United States, In the ab- sence of any courtmartial or any civil court, that any one of their number par ticipated in this disturbance, is wholly unjustified and violated the rights se- cured to these men by both the con- stitution and the laws of the United States
 Oscar W. Reed who was a private in Company c, prior to his discharge with out honor has been selected as the plain tiff in the action. The suit has been brought to recover $122 .16 the amount to which Reeds pay would have come from the time of this discharge, No vember IS. 1906, to July 1s 1907. when the term of his enlistment would have ex- pired. Reed was one of the men arrest ed by the civil officers in Brownsville after the trouble. but was discharged by the coroner. His case was also heard by the grand jury. which refused to hold him. He now lives in this city.

 This years opening differed from former years in that a travelng company began the season. Usually the opera company has been made up in New Orleans After the season here the Milan company will go to Guatemala, Central America, and then to Lima, Peru.
