Will Not ResCnd His Former Action
MUCH ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY
SECURED PAST FEW DAYS

Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today sent to the SEN
ate a special message regarding the
Brownsville incident. which gives ad-
ditional evidence collected by Assist
ant Attorney General Purdy and Major
Blockson, who were sent to Texas by
the president to investigate affairs.
The president submitted with his mes
sage various exhibits. including maps
of Brownsville and Fort Brown,
bandoler, thirty-three empty shells,
seven ball cartridges, picked up in the
streets few hours after the shooting,
three steel-jacketed bullets and some
scraps of castings of other bullets
picked out of the houses into which
they had been fred. The president
declares that the evidence is positive
that the outrages of Aug. 13, were
committed by some of the colored
troops that have been dismissed and
that some or all of the members of
three companies of the Twenty-flfth
infantry had knowledge of the deed
and have shielded the guilty ones.
tn negro troops are referred to by the
president in his message as midnight
assassins" and he declares that very
few, II any, of the soldiers dismissed,
without honor" could have been
ignafant of what occurred. That part
of'the order which bars soldiers from
all civil employment under the gov
'ernment Is revoked by the president.
This clause, the president says, was
lacking in validity. The discharged
troops, however. will be forever
barred from re-enlisting in the army
OF navy and as to this, the president
says "that there Is no doubt of my
constitutional and legal power"
Secretary Taft's report giving the
sworn testimony of fourteen eye wit
nesses is given and the president de-
clares that the evidence is conclusive
that the weapons used were Spring
field rifles now used by the United
States troops, including the negro
troops who were in garrison at
Brownsville.

San Francisco, Jan. 14.-"No con-
gress could pass a Japanese exclus-
ion act and no president would sign
one. because it would be hoodlum
act" said David Starr Jordan, presi-
dent of Stanford university, in ad-
dressing meeting at Equity hall last
night. of socialists, by whom he had
been invited to speak on the Asiatio
problem. DR.. Jordan quoted Presi-
dent Roosevelt in saying that as
general rule, ut paid for nation to
be gentleman" and he was of the
opinion that the remedy of immigra-
tion troubles did not lie in lawlessness
nor yet in mass meetings denouncing
Japanese as nation, because they
did not go to the same Sunday school
we attended.
"It is all nonsense" he said, "that
We have to fight with Japan to see
who shall have mastery of the Paci-
fic." He said he believed Japan was
sincere In its desire to stem the un-
skilled labor immigration to this coun-
try.
