PRESIDENT SENDS IN SPECIAL
MESSAGE ON BROWNSVILLE
AFFAIR.
EVIDENCE IS ALL CNt WAY
FURDY'S REPORT FASTENS GUILT
OF BROWNSVILLE OUTRAGE
ON NEGROES,

Washington. Jan. 16. President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to the senate
special message on the Brownsville
incident, which gives the additional
evidence collected by Assistant Attor-
ney General Purdy and Maj. Blocksom.
who were sent to Texas to investigate
the affair.
The president submitted with his ev-
idence various exhibits, including emp
ty shells and ball cartridges, picked up
in the streets after the shooting, and
steel-jacketed bullets and scraps of
castings of other bullets picked out of
the houses into which they had been
fired.
midnight Assassins," His Term.
The president declares that the evi-
dence is positive that the outrages OF
Aug. 13 were committed by some c
the colored troops that have been d.
missed and that some others, or all I,
the members of the three companies
Of the Twenty-tifth infantry, had
knowledge of the deed and have shield
ed the guilty ones.
The negro troops are referred to by
the president as midnight assassins,
and he declares that very few, if any,
of the soldiers dismissed without
honor" could have been ignorant of
what occurred.
That part of the order which bars
the soldiers from all civil employment
under the government is revoked by
the president. This clause, the presl-
dent says, was lacking in validity.
Denies Lack of Power.
The discharged troops, however, will
be forever barred from re-enlistment
In the army and navy, and, as to this,
the president says there is no doubt
as to my constitutional and legal
power
Secretary Tafts report, giving the
sworn testimony of witnesses, is trans
mitted with the message. The testl-
mOny of fourteen eye-witneSses, sup
ported in part by the testimony or
twenty five others. is given, and the
president declares that the evidence is
conclusive that the weapons used were
Springfield rifles, now used by the
United States troops.
Discharge Necessary Move.
President Roosevelt defends his ac-
tion in discharging the troops, saying
il would be absolutely impossible to
preserve army discipline by pursuing
any other course.
The president dismisses as ridicu-
lous the charge that Brownsville clt1-
zens committed the outrage with a
view of throwing odium on the negro
troops and obtaining their dismissal
That the criminals were soldiers is
shown conclusively in the evidence OF
reputable witnesses.
