FORAKER PAYS MAN
To GET EVIDENCE
In Defense of Negroes in the
Brownsville Case
EYEWITNESS ON THE STAND
Saw Smoothly" and Says Soldiers Did
Not Leave Barracks-Report on
Examination of Bullets
Goes to President.
EYEWITNESS ON THE STAND

Washington, March 15-An eyewitness
to many incidents connected with the af-
fray at Brownsville was put on the stand
today by Senator Foraker, and before he
concluded he had been thoroughly cross
examined by the Senate committee on
military affairs, which is conducting an
investigation of the alleged shooting up"
of Brownsville by members of the Twen-
ty-fifth infantry. He was Macias G. To-
mayo, Mexican carpenter of Browns
vile, who also had the contract for the
scavenger work at Fort Brown. He was
working between the barracks and the
wall separating the town from the re-
servation when the shooting began, and
was in position to. have seen soldiers
leave the barracks, and enter the town
If they had done so. Claiming to be en-
tirely disinterested, and having no ac-
quaintance with the negro Soldiers. his
evidence was the best defense of the
negroes yet given.
Another interesting development was
statement by Senator Foraker that he
paid the expenses of a man sent south
to interview the prospective witness. The
report from the Springfield arsenal where
the war department had made microscopic
examination of shells picked up in
Brownsville streets, eand bullets found in
the walls of houses there, has been COM
pleted. The officer who made the exam
nations arrived in Washington today and
conferred with Secretary Taft and Gen
eral .Crozier. chief of ordnance. Later he
laid his report before President Roose-
velt.s He may be called tomorrow before
the commission.
Tonnage testified that when the shoot
ing began he was working in the rear
of B barracks. The first shot, he said,
came from the alley about half q block
from the reservation. between Elizabeth
and Washington streets. Another shot
was fired almost Immediately and To-
mayo Immediately extingulshed his Ian
tern for fear of being made a target He
said that fusillade followed, the bullets
whistlng over the barracks as IL fired
toward the administration building. He
thought there We're about twenty shots
in all. After the volleys, he said, he drove
out between b and d barracks. The re-
mainder of his story was in relation to
the call to arms and the formation of
the companies, which he saw incident
to the completion of his scavenger work.
During the firing Tonnage says he was
sure the soldiers did not leave the bar
racks to enter the town, nor enter the
barracks from the town, but on cross
examination he would not say that Il
would have been impossible for soldiers
to have hidden along the wall in the rear
of the outhouses and woodsheds He was
absolutely certain though that soldiers
could not have fired from the barracks
into the town without his seeing the
flashes of the guns, and hearing Them

Mrs. Thaw testified that Humrnel had
shown her a paper and without letting
he see anything but her signature, burned
1t In a jardenier.
The examination of Hummel proceeded
with much difficulty because of the con-
tnued objections of Mr.. Delmas, who
now interposed the objection that the
prosecution had not laid sufficient ground
for the secondary evidence, the existence
of the original being in doubt. Mr.. Je-
rome said he had asked Mrs. Thaw about
the original, and she had denied ever
having had 1t in her possession.
Justice Fitzgerald overruled this objec-
ton along with all the others.
Acted for White.
The regular afternoon recess of fifteen
minutes was ordered during Mr.. Jerome s
examination of Hummel. Hummel tdenti-
fled the Photographic copy Of the affidavit
as having been made from the original.
Mr.. Jerome then turned the witness
over for cross-examination.
Mr.. Delmas asked Hummel If there was
any one else In his office when he de-
livered the original affidavit to Evelyn

Hummel said he had arranged to have
the Photographic copy made, had sent
for the photographer whose name he
could not remember, and that the photo
grapher came to his office.
A moment later Hunmel said he gave
the paper to Stanford White and White
had the Photographic copy made.

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE,
Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof Of Deafness Also,

Judge Harlan. who lives up on the
hill. was passenger on q Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to couple OF clerks who we're
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one Of them to raise his
voice to quite a high pitch. says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
If any one was listening to the talk
OF his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence Of the dignified
justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake, lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf also" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark it is i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same,
calm smile fitted over his face at
the conclusion Of the young fellows
admonition to his friend.
