Cleaned From the Court Martial
of Major Penrose of the 25th

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. ri, 1907.
The Penrose court martial, which
is in session daily at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, is still much talked of, and es.
p~eclally is the testimony that is be-
ing brought out daily becoming more
interesting. The sentiment of the peo-
pie has been changed almost to the
reverse. There was a time when some
really did think that members of the
Twenty-ifth Infantry stationed at
Brownsville, Texas CIT. Brown, had
something to do with the recent dis
turbances at that post. But since the
Penrose court martial has been in SEES
sion here and since the senate investi-
eating committee opened its inquiry
in Washington, it is easily seen that
the testimony brought out and the
many startling facts disclosed has
changed the verdict. There are hard
ly five persons to be found in this
great historic city, which bears a repu-
tation as Texas Cradle of Liberty"
and is better known as the alamo
City," who believe the members of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry had anything to
do with the "shooting-up." Govern
ment soldiers have been stationed
here since the Texas-Mexican War. in
fact, since the occupation of Texas by
the United States. Old citizens here
are familiar with the records and the
treatment of all soldiers. Each of
the four Negro regiments the ninth
and tenth calvaries, the twenty-fourth

stationed at this point. Every n
Of the four regiments made deep i'm
pressions upon the people while they
were occupying these posts by the
gentlemanly way in which they de-
ported themselves. Truly they are all
soldiers and have been accustomed to
being under fire. They could not have
occupied these Western posts along
the Texas border and maintain such
peace as they did between outlaws and
the state had they been other than
soldiers. That region of country

just twenty-five years ago. He fin
ished his grammar school education
in the city schools Of Nashville. then
entered Fisk and finished the college
department with the class of 1903.
While looking around to see what r O
fess1on he would like to take, he was
absent from Nashville only about two
years, then returned and decided to
take a medical course. He entered
Meharry and from the beginning has
shown remarkable ability as a pupil.
He has studied hard in order to get
all there was to be had out of his
studies. He has been recently of
fered a position as one of the in
terms at Freedman's Hospital, Wash
ington, d. c., and will possibly leave
this week to accept. This will give
him a wonderful opportunity to furth-
er fit himself for the profession. But
in accepting the intern, he must reject
the recent honor thrust upon him by
his class in making him their saluta-
torian. But in the face of the adyan-
tages to be derived from the stay in
the hospital at Washington, and be-
cause he must go at once, if he ex-
poets to accept the offer, the class de-
cided that they could allow him to go
with their best wishes. Hence they
unanimously agreed. Just who will
be elected to succeed Mr.. Hunter as
the salutatorian has not been learned.
All of Nashville will no doubt feel
proud to send forth into the medical
profession such a promising young
man, who was so singularly honored
by such a large class. He stands we'll
not only in his class and at school, but
with the people of the city, many Of
whom have known him since boyhood.
Just where he will locate after leaving
the Freedman Hospital is not known.

A NASHVILLE BOYS GOOD REC
ORD.

AS the closing days Of the Meharry
Medical College draw nigh, and as the
senior classes begin to make prepare
tons to bid adieu to old friends and
familiar scenes, n begins to look
around to see the personalities of the
class. Many familiar faces are seen
therein. Some of the young men have
spent seven and eight years attending
school in Nashville, but as a rule they
come from distant cities. 1t is often
the ease that the home boys go else
where to finish because OF the old
maxim "a Prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" This
however, has not been the case with

John Murray briefly stated this fact
