New York, Dec 27.-United states

that he had been served with the

trict court by counsel for Oscar w.

the Twenty-hfth infantry which was

ing the rioting az Brownsville, Texas
The plaintiff sued the government to
recover pay lost through his discharge
from the army. bat the attorneys in
the case have admitted thai they Were
retained by wealthy of New Eng-
land" whose real object is to deter
mine the legality OF the president
action. Mr.. Stimson said that he had
as yet given the complaint only cur
sorry examination, but he did not
think there was any evidence that
President Roosevelt has violated his
constitutional rights in discharging
the colored soldiers without honor"
The district attorney added that he
had not decided what he would do In
the matter. He might, he thought,
demur to the complaint, or possibly
waive that right. and If he was con-
vinced that he was right in accepting
service of the papers try the case on
its merits.
Charles T.. Melon. of counsel for the
plaintiff. said today:
