devoted entirely to the further discus
sion Of President Roosevelt's order dis
missing the negro troops Of the Twen-

Lodge Proposes an Amendment.
Foraker replied briefly, expressing
his intense interest in having speedy
action on his resolution for an inves-
LEGATION. Lodge proposed an amend
ment to this resolution, which has the
effect of admitting the presidents au-
thority as commander-in-chief of the
army to take the action ne did, and of
restricting the investigation to the Oc-
currence in Brownsville. This would
have the effect of preventing an inves-
LEGATION of the constitutional questions
involved in the presidents order dis
missing the troops.
