President Roosevelt Sends
Special Message to Senate

Brownsville Case.

Roosevelt sen. special message to
the senate on the Brownsville investi-
cation. He declares the investiga-
ton shows that practically all OF Com
pany b was involved! Practically all
OF Companies C and ID had knowledge
OF the affair, although they denied
this on examination. He recommends
that men who held back this inform
alton but later revealed the truth. be
reinstated. He suggests a law Civ
ing the secretary Of war power within
a year to reinstate the men he finds
worthy.
The message includes the report Of
the investigation by Herbert Browne
and Captain Baldwin. He cites the
confession OF Boyd Connors TO an I'M
known detective, duplicating three
other soldiers.
~ include herewith letter from
the secretary OF war transmitting a
report OF the investigation made by
Mr.. Herbert 7. Browne. employed by
the department In conjunction with
Capt. W @. Baldwin to investigate
as far as possible what happened at
Brownsville on the 18th and 1Ath OF
August. 1906. The report and docu-
ments contain some Information OF
great value and some statements that
are obviously worthless, but I submit
them in their entirety.
This report enables us to Ak with
tolerable definlteness al least some of
the criminals who took the lead in
the murderous shooting of private
citizens at Brownsville II establishes
clearly the fact that the cOlorod sol
oilers did the shooting: but upon this
point further record was unnecessary
as the fact that the colored soldiers
did the shooting has already been e.
tablished beyond an possibility OF
doubt The investiga ton has not gone
far enough TO enable us TO determine
all the facts, and we will proceed
with Il: but u has gone far enough to
determine with sufficient accuracy Ger
tain facts OF enough Importance to
make It advisable that | place the re-
port before YOU. II appears that al
most all the members OF Company q
must have been actively concerned
In the shooting. either to the extent
Of being participants or 20 the extent
OF virtually encouraging those who
were participants. As to Companies
c and ID. there can be no question
that practically every man in them
must have had knowledge that the
shooting was done by some OF the SOL
dlens Of b Troop. and possibly by one
or two others in one Of the other
troops. This ooncealment was itself
a grave offense. which was greatly
aggravated by their testifying before
the senate committee that they were
ignorant OF what they must have
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-12-14

known. Nevertheless. II is TO be said
in partial extenuation that they were
probably cowed by threats. made by
the more desperate of the men who
had actually been engaged in the
shooting, as to what would happen
to any man who failed to protect the
wrongdoers. Moreover. there are
circumstances tending to show that
these misguided men were encour-
aged by outsiders to persist in their
course OF concealment and denial. I
feel, therefore, that the guilt of the
men who, after the event. thus shield
ed the perpetrators Of the wrong by
refusing TO tell the truth about them
though serious. was in part due to the
unwise and improper attitude of 9th
.ers. and that some measure of allow
ance should be made for the miscon-
duct. In ether words. believe We
can afford to reinstate any of these
men who now truthfully tell what has
happened, give all the aid they can
TO fix the responsibility upon those
who are really guilty. and show that
they themselves had no guilty know
ledge beforehand and were in no way
implicated in the affair, save by hav-
ing knowledge OF II afterwards and
failing and refusing to divulge IT,.

soldiers whom he. after careful ex-
animation, finds to have been limo

all In his power TO help bring to jus

Meanwhile the investigation will
be Continued. The results have made
Il obvious that only by carrying on
the investigation as the war depart
ment has actually carried it on is
there the slightest chance of bringing
the offenders to justice or of separat-
ing not the innocent, for there were
doubtless hardly any innocent, but
the less guilty from those whose guilt
was helnous.
