MAJOR PENROSE FIRM.
Is Sure That His Men Did Not
".ShOOt Up" Brownsville.

Washington, June 1.-THE examination Of Major
Penrose. who was in command of the negro troops
stationed at Brownsville, Tex, on August 49, when
that town was shot up" and Captain Macklin Of
Company c, 25th infantry, consumed nearly the
entire time of the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs to-day.
Both were called upon the suggestion of Senator
Foraker, and We're asked concerning testimony of
other witnesses who have recently been before the
committee They denied several important state
ments of witnesses tending TO fix the blame for the
Shooting up" of the town upon the negro soldiers.
Major Penrose reasserted his belief that the SOL
diers did not do the shooting.
Senator Hemenway questioned Major Penrose
concerning the efforts made but the military authori-
ties to fix the responsibility for the Brownsville
shooting. The witness reasserted his opinion that
the negro troops innocent and that citizens
Springfield cartridges had been scattered in the
streets to place the blame upon the soldiers. When
last before the committee he did not believe his
men were guilty, and to-day that belief was more
positively expressed
Captain Macklin denied having made statements
at Brownsville before The affray, that if the people
did not look out the negroes would jump over the
barracks wall some night and 'shOot the town UP"
He said he had never made any such statement He
questioned by Senator Foraker as to the posi-
bity of seeing at a considerable distance on the
night OF August -. He declared he could not have
told that a man had a uniform at distance
greater than ten fifteen feet. This Substan-
rose, who could not recognize his officers ten feet
away that night.
