WARNER S SHARP REToRT.

Occasionally a feeling OF III TEN
per is manifested in the committee
room. Yesterday Senator Warner
was cross examining a witness rath
er sharply when Senator Scott, the
acting chairman, declared that Mr.
Warner was trying TO confuse the
witness, and that ne saw no necessi

was being pursued.

Witness" retorted Senator Warner,
somewhat savagely, 'and I am not
prepared to take a lecture. either"
Well" replied Mr.. Scott, II am
not a lawyer. and don't see the
use of such testimony"
Five witnesses were examined yes
terday. All were members OF Com

except former Sergt. Luther T..

rection of the quarters of Companies
B & G. He was positive that his
company wore web belts at the in
spection and that the McKeever box
es were in quarters. shortly after
Inspection witness stated that the
gssns were taken away ero4i the men
but ne believed that the ammunition
was still left In their care.
He could not state who did the
shooting. and said he had never
been able TO get any information
from members of Company ID. He
knew nothing OF any conspiracy OF
silence, and did not believe any OF
the soldiers were implicated I'm the
ARRAY. Reeves thought il took from
twenty TO thirty minutes to clean a
rifle, but it depended largely upon
the Quicl1ness of the man.
No soldier has chance 20 pro
cure cartridges at target practice or
at quarters without running risk OF
court martial he said. Senator
Overman asked: Gould the citizens
of Brownsville get any Springfield
cartridges?" and Reeves replied.
No"
Reeves. when asked about the gun
inspection. said that the cooks gun
was the only one that was not thor
ougly clean. but that cobwebs were
found in it. Reeves said that Mai
PenrOse ordered every non commits
stoned officer TO find out who did
the shooting The examination of
Reeves was not concluded when the
committee adjourned until 90 day.

BLAME ON BROWNSVILLE.

Much OF the testimony Of the day
was apparently for the purpose OF
giving color 10 the contention that
the citizens of Brownsville had shot
up the town, and that It was com
paratively easy matter for them TO
have obtained cast Off uniforms and
military clothing. In like manner
testimony was given to show how
II would have been possible for the
citizens to have secured empty shells
and other military ammunition such
as was picked up in the streets after
the riot Yesterdays testimony
suggests that more OF similar kind
will be offered to show that IL would
have been quite easy for the shoot
ing to have been done by civilians
and the blame placed upon the sol
diers.
Frazer testified that nc was mar
ried. and. with other married sol

He said the reports of firearms

CORRECTED HIS EVIDENCE.

In addition TO the witnesses on
the stand at the forenoon session
of the committee. Sergt. Fraser was
recalled and corrected his testimony
of yesterday 10y saying that ne had
surrendered bis ammunition at Fort
Reno. instead of at Fort Brown. lie
said he had noticed his error I'm "a
newspaper report of the PROCEEDINGS.
There was nothing unusual in Win
ter Washington testimony. He
was "a member OF Company ID. and
his story was not unlike those told
by his former comrades. His idea
OF the Brownsville anray. however.
was that Mexican greasers' and
Texas cowboys" had done the shoot
ing in order TO make trouble for tAe
Negro soldiers.

Reeves insisted despite close ques
tioning, that gun fired five or ten
times could not be cleaned in less
than twenty minutes 10 pass rigid
inspection. though il might be clean
cd in fifteen minutes for ordinary
inspection. He asserted that the in

COOK MAKES ADMISSIONS.

The admissions we're made by
Charles Dade. cook of Company ID,
under cross examination by Senator
Foster Of Louisiana. The witness
would not answer the Senator g
question as TO whether there had
not been an agreement among the
members of the company TO say that
the citizens and not the soldiers did
the shooting. He did say however
that the statement which was made
to the representatives of the COnsti
tuition League and sworn to by the
men was for that purpose.
Sergeant Fraser. the star witness
of yesterday, is an interesting in
dividuai, straight as an arrow, black
as the ace of spades, standing six
feet three and one half inches in his
stockings. and conducting himself
with a decidedly military bearing.
To establish his credibility, Mr.. For
aker brought out early that while
serving in the Philippines, Fraser
had been put in command of the
town of Egier, a place Of 1900 inhab
itants, which he had practically gov
erned for several months, and that
he had been instrumental in captur
ing a notorious outlaw, VINO subse
quentiy was hanged. Mr.. Pettus
objected TO Mr.. Fovaker's method
OF examining the witness, cOntending
that he was asking too many leading
questions.
