WASHINGTON, March 30.-Lieuter-
ant Greer, Quartermaster and acting
battalion adjutant Of the Twenty-iifth
infantry on the night of the affray at
Brownsville. was on the stand in the
investigation conducted by the senate
committee ON military affairs. In the
absence Of Captain Macklin he took
command of Company c while the
shooting was in progress. He testified
In detail concerning the events at the
post that night.
AT the conclusion of Il long direct
examination the witness told Senator
Foraker that, while lie had believed
the men of the Twenty-fifth infantry
did the shooting. his mind was now
open on the subject of their guilt or
innocence.
He thought the firing came from
about the center of the town and that
shOtguns and reVolvcrs were used. 1t
was his opinion that high power rifles
were not used in the firing he heard.
lie estimated that it would require
forty or fifty minutes to clean Il gun
so that it would stand inspection after
having been fired. He did not believe
the guns could have been cleaned in
the dark without showing traces of oil
II oil were used. and If not used the
guns could not he thoroughly cleaned.
