MESSAGE ON NEGRO TROOPS
President Tells Senate His Reasonc
for Diminishing Men.

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt sent to the senate a special
message regarding the Brownsville
incident, which gives the additional
evidence collected by Assistant Attor-
ney General Purdy and Major Block
som. who were sent to Texas by the
president to investigate the affair.
The president submitted with his mes
sage various exhibits, including maps
of Brownsville and Fort Brown, a
b%andoleer, thirty-three empty shells,
seven ball cartridges picked up In the
streets a few hours after the shoot
ing, three steel jacketed bullets and
some scraps Of the castings Of OF =
bullets picked out of the houses into
which they had been fired.
The president declares that the evil
dence Is positive that the outrages
of Aug. IL were committed by some of
the colored troops that have been dis
missed and that some or all OF the
members of the three companies OF
the Twenty.ffth infantry had knowl.
edge of the deed and have shielded
the guilty ones.
The negro troops are referred to by
the president in his message as
midnight assassins" and he declares
that very few. if any OF the soldiers
dismissed without honor" could have
been ignorant of what occurred. That
part of the order which bars the sol
diers from all civil employment under
the government is revoked by the
president. This clause. the president
says, was lacking in validity. The dis.
charged troops. however, will be for
ever barred from re-enlisting in the
army or navy, and as to this the presi-
dent says that there Is no doubt OF
my constitutional and legal power"
Secretary Taft's report, giving the
sworn testimony of witnesses, is trans
| mitted with the message. The testi.
| mony of fourteen eye-witnesses Is Civ.
en- and the president declares that the
evidence is conclusive that the weap-
ons used were Springfield rifles, now
| used by the United States troops, in
Guiding the negro troops who were In
| the garrison at Brownsville.
