.SLAYDEN ON
The AFFRAY.
Texan in Congress Scores Color.
ed Troops -virginian Stands
By President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-An echo OF
the Brownsville assault by negro sol
diers of the Twenty-ffth infantry was
heard in the house when Representa-
tive Slayden (Tex) told anew and with
considerable detail the story of that
August night of last year when the
colored troops, as alleged, ''shot up
the town of Brownsville, In his state.
Incident to the story of the shooting
and defense of the citizens of Browns
vile Mr. Slayden devoted much of his
time tc careful analysis of the condi-
tions of the white and black races and
said that race prejudice was at the bot
tom of the assault.
''In the history of the negro troops in
the United States,' said Mr. Slayden,
zone finds many chapters that tell of
violent breaches Of discipline. of riot
Gus and mutinous conduct, of murder
and race hostility"
In declaring the negro race to be un-
fit for American soldiers the Texas
congressman said he had in view only
the circumstances of their service. He
did not impeach their physical courage.
Mr. SlaysIen traced the history of
the Twenty.ffth infantry and said that
it had "a particularly vicious record. .
and. going into particulars. he said
that while stationed at Fort Meade,
S. D., in the summer of 1885 Il corporal
of that regiment murdered citizen,
and the people of the community
lynched the murderer. About three
weeks after the lynching fifteen or
twenty negro soldiers raidetl and "shot
up the town of Sturgis, which is only
a mile and half from the post
In the senate, speaking on the
Brownsville affray, Senator Daniel
Va) rldiculed the suggestion which,
he said had been mysteriously limited
at, that the people of Brownsville
shot up their own town in order to
bring reproach on the colored soldiers.
"In all the southern outrages | have
ever heard Of, continued Mr. Daniel,
mind has been distorted into the sug-
gestion that a southern town had shot
up itself If this had been white
company, whether from Connecticut or
Virginia, we would have had no public
meeting on the subject, no sermons
would have been preached, mo church
es would have been drous ed and di-
verted from their religious devotion"
A compromise may be reached by
providing for an investigation by the
senate committee on military affairs.
The committee would 80 % Browns
vile, and the expenses of tlieir investi-
CATION would be paid out of the contin-
gent fund Of III" con ltc
Senator Lodge. 1t is now said, faced
certain defeat in his defense OF Presi-
negro troops and has accepted the com
promise inquiry.

youngster forgot the chicks during

passed, to find that half Of them had
been drowned. Though fearing the
wrath to come, he thought best to
make clean breath Of the calamity,
rather than leave It to bs discovered.
