He proceeded. Il have no particle
of prejudice against the cOlored peO-
pie. II | felt that they had been I'M
justly dealt with in his case, there is
not a man on this floor more willing
than | would be to defend them. But
ii is not the color of a soldiers skin
which gives him any right, and We
should teach the COlOrPd men of the
United States even as We teach the
white men, hat obedience to the law.
whatever that law may be, is the first
duty of a soldier. and the man who
does not obey shall feel its power"
Mr.. Daniel ridiculed the suggestion.
which he said had been mysteriOusly
limited a., that the people of Browns
vile shot up their own town in ORDER
to bring reprcach on the cOloreu SOL
diers.
"In all the southern Outrages L
have never heard Of" continued Mr..
Daniel "this is the first time that the
human mind a been distorted into
the suggestion that a southern town
was shooting up itself.
eff his had been a white company"
Mr.. Daniel said, whether from Con-
necticut Or Virginia, we would have
had no public meetings on the sub
jects; no sermons would have been
preached; no churches would have
been aroused and diverted from their
religious d~evotions."
Mr.. Daniel favored an investigation.
Get all the evidence you can" he
said, "but do not impugn the presi-
lent and the military law
"To sustain the president" he said
in conclusion, SIS not friendship for
autocracy; it is simply friendship for
government; it is respect for law.
Senator Foraker asked that the
Brownsville resolution go over until
tomorrow and this order was made.
