No Mercy for Women.
They fired into hotels filed with
guests. and into residences occupied by
men. women. and children. IN fact. their
conduct indicated a wanton purpose TO
terrorize the inhabitants OF the town, and
TO Kill and destroy with utter reckless
disregard OF age. sex, or condition OF
helP:essness. In carrying out their un-
lawiSI purpose they respected neither the
sanctity OF the home nor the innocence
and helplessness OF women and children.
They fired into houses where women and
children were sleeping. and IN some In
stances the bullets passed through the
rooms only few feet over the beds IN
which people were lying.
We believe that the above facts are
clearly established by fncontesuble evi-
dence- Fifteen eyewitnesses testified
that they saw and recognized the raiders
who did the shooting as persons dressed
In the uniforms Of United States soldiers
with guns. and most OF these witnesses
recognized them as negroes. One witness
saw a negro soldier, with his gun re-
turning from the objection OF the town
where the firing had occurred. and saw
him enter the Reservation Immediately
after the shooting had ceased. Three Wit
nesses testified as 10 having seen the men.
carrying their guns. running back in the
direction Of the fort.
Witnesses Were Dependable.
These witnesses. so far as the com
mittee could ascertain. were respectable
and trustworthy people-no one OF them
Was impeached. neither Was his or her
reputation for honesty or truthfulness
seriously questioned. The testimony OF
these witnesses alone would be sufficient
10 establish the fact. beyond reasonable
question. that the shooting was done by
negro soldiers and there were no negro
soldiers IN that part Of the country ex-
cept those Of Companies 3, c, and =, OF
the Twenty-tifth Infantry.
Although the committee has devoted
much time 20 the investigation, and has
diligently followed every clew that has
been suggested. and while proof is abun-
dant a>d conclusive that mem hers OF the
Twenty fifth Infantry were the perpetra-
tors OF this unprovoked attack. the evi-
dence. We regret 20 say. fails 20 identify
the particular soldier or soldiers who
participated IN the ARRAY. II is perfectly
manifest. however. from both the nature
and the character Of the attack. and the
number Of persons engaged in IT. that II
was preCOhceTted and probably deliber-
ately planned and executed.
we are forced 10 the conclusion that
soldiers other than those who actively
participated In the raid must have known
OF what was taxing place. and were aiders
and abettors thereof. either before or
after the fact"
