A SERIOUS UPRISING.

The action OF the Bishops and Min
listers OF the African Methodist Epis-
copal the African Methodist Episco-
pal Zion and the Colored Methodist
Churches OF tho United states in a-
dopting drastic resolutions against
President Roosevelt and Secretary OF
War Taft at Washington. d. c. Feb.
Is. 1905 is especially significant and
emphasizes the feeling Of resent
ment on the part of the colored peo-
pie that was known TO exist.
That this action reflected the SEN
timent of the colored people through
out this country, regardless OF poll
tics or religion hardly admits OF n
question. The United States Senate
Committee on Military Affairs evil
IDENTIFY saw the storm rising for 10 IS
reported that IL has decided not 20
make "a report or the Brownsville
affair until after the election.
That the South will be the battle
ground from this time until after
the nomination of a Presidential can
didate seems to be a foregone con-
clusion. The right thinking people
Of this country are not going to en-
dorse the Brownsville order OF
the War Department and President
Roosevelt Il does not square with
the platitudes of that distinguished
gentleman. and is antagonistie 20 ev-
cry element of q square deal.
