The "Affair de Brownsville

FULL COMMITTEE TAKING
EVIDENCE Of THE AFFRAY
Senator Foraker Champions Part Of
Enlisted Men Who Were Discharged
Many Of Latter Summoned to Give
Testimony - Penrose Courtmarital
Begins at San Antonio, Texas.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-The t"Af-
fairs de Brownsville" promises to oc-
cupy as much space in American his
tory as does the famous Dreyfus case
In the history of the French republic.
The one certainly bids fair to be as
long drawn out as the other. The SEN
ate having tired somewhat of the con-
troversy has shifted it over to the
committee on military affairs, which
today began the taking of testimony
concerning the famous ARRAY of the
negro soldiers. The full committee is
sitting in the case and commissioned
and on-commissioned officers of the
discharged negro battalion, with 9TH
ers who are supposed to be acquainted
with the facts, have been summoned
before the committee to tell all they
know about the case.
1t is hoped that the inquiry will be
conducted harmoniously and without
the bitter controversy which develop
ed during the consideration of the
resolution in the senate: Some doubt
is expressed on this point, however,
as it is known that the members of
the committee are aligned on two
sides in regard to the case. While
no counsel representing any of the
parties interested will be permitted
to attend the hearing, it has been de-
cided that the case shall be conducted
along the lines of a regular trial. One
Of the members of the committee,
probably Senator Foraker, will pre-
sent the case on behalf of the enlisted
men. Other members of the commit
tee, of course, are to have the privil-
ege of cross-examining the men. This
procedure has been agreed upon in
order to keep the examination within
bounds.
