the care that Is taken in accounting for am
munition. He said about 400 cartridges are
issued to each soldier annually for range
practice. When they fire at the targets they
are issued the number Of cartridges they are
supposed to fire. and If they do not use all
of them they are required to turn them back
to non-commissioned officer. He thought
it would be very difficult for soldier 70 re-
tain cartridges He had seldom seen SOL
diers have any extra cartridges.
Being questioned concerning the cleaning
of guns, he said it would take half an hour
to clean Springfield rife.
Discrimination Against Soldiers.
Tie witness was cross-examned by Sen
ator Warner, and said tina. although the
policemen at Brownsville were very ready
to arrest soldiers who were drunk, they
were not so free in arresting Mexicans. The
soldiers were allowed to come back to the
barracks when drunk without being placed
under arrest by their superior officers. If
the soldier is drunk and disorderly the rule
was to arrest him and place him in the
guardhouse. But in the town the police
frequently arrested soldiers who were under
the influence of liquor. At the same time
MexicanS in the same condition were not
disturbed. In one case he remembered a
drunken Mexican was sent to his home in a
hack by policeman.
The witness heard a soldier, Private
Henry Watson, tell another soldier that
people in Brownsville wanted to buy some
cartridges ana WOulQ give W cents Tor
twenty Of them. This soldier said he knew
where he could sell cartridges at that rate.
HE said.' testified Sergt. Huron, that
a man down at Wellers saloon wanted to
buy cartridges
The witness could not fix the time when
the soldier said he had been offered 90 cents
for twenty cartridges 1t was in 1906 some
time before his regiment was ordered away
from Brownsville. He could not be sure
whether that was while the regiment had
Krag-Jorgensen or Springfield rifles.
II have seen police officers gambling in
saloons in their uniforms said the witness.
He had seen gambling in full blast there
in public. These gambling places are
usually over the saloons.
While there was general prejudice in
Brownsville against the United States uni
form, the witness said he believed the
prejudice there against colored soldiers was
greater than in the case Of white soldiers. :
He was closely questioned as to the care
used in accounting for cartridges, but in
sisted that in every way such great care Is
exercised in that respect it was almost i'm
possible for a soldier to get extra car
tridges.
Hostility to the Troops.
At the afternoon session yesterday in
put on the stand Captain B. J. Edger, jr.,
who was assistant surgeon at Fort Brown
with the 26th Infantry until July 5, 1906
and who returned there August 81, week
after the shooting ARRAY. He told of the
hostility of the people OF Brownsville to the
negro troops and of his attending injured
soldiers who had been attacked by people
of the town. He corroborated other white
officers in their statements that the citizens
with few exceptions were of a character
not desired as associates for refined people.
