INTERESTING EVIDENCE IN
THE BROWNSVILLE INQUIRY
Major Penrose Asserts His Confidence in the Innocence
Of His Men=Lickie Says Bullets Gould Not
Have Beer Fired From Barracks

Washington, April 3.-Testimouy of
unusual interest was given today in the
Brownsville investigation before the
senate committee on military affairs.
the chief witness being Major Charles
w PenrOse, who commanded the for
mer negro soldiers who are charged
with having shot up The Texas city,
and Lieutenant H. G. Leckie, who was
sent to Brownsville by General Nc
Askey. commander of the department
of Texas, to investigate facts connected
with the shooting Lieutenant Leckie
traced the course taken by bullets that
penetrated houses in Brownsville an
came to the conclusion that the bullets
could not have been fired by soldiers
in the barracks.
Major Penrose has been acquitted
bv court martial on charges of neglect
of duty, while the same court marti2i
found that the men of the twenty-hrst
infantry were guilty. Notwithstanding
this finding Major Penrose asserted his
confidence now in the innocence Of the
men. although at first he thought them
guilty, and in reply to a question by
Senator Foraker said that the negro
soldiers had not been represented by
counsel at the court
Major Penrose testified that he was
awakened when the firing began on the
night of August Is, and Immediately
dressed upon hearing two pistol shots
from the road, he thought. in the vi
cinity of the guard house. His stor.-
as to the call to arms and for formation
and disposition of the companies dur
ing the succeeding hours tallies with
that told by other officers. He testi-
fed to sending Captain Lyon, with
company D. to patrol the town and Of
his return, accompanied by Mayor
Combe and his brother Joe COmbe, and
of their statement that soldiers had
done the shooting. After general
discussion between the Combes and Or
f1cers of the 25 infantry, Major Penrose
said that the mayor asked to speak 70
him privately. In this talk the wit
ness said that Mayor ComDe told him
that none of the men of the 25th
should be permitted to enter the town
as he could not be responsible for the
actions Of the citizens toward them.
This applied to officers as well as en-
listed men. Major Penrose said that
he replied he would allow none of Them
to enter the town and neither would
he allow a citizen to enter the garrison
He made an exception of the mayor
and any citizen bearing letters from the
mayor
Major Penrose did not believe his
men had done the shooting until the
following morning when Captain Mack
lin found the clips and shells outside
the garrison wall. His feeling that the
men were guilty was strengthened b.
not finding any marks of bullets in the
barracks walls on the sides next to the
town
The direct examination of Major
Penrose had not been concluded whe1
The committee adjourned for the day.
