CASE AGAIN
Senator FOraker's Bill for Rein
statement

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.-By vlr-
tue OF a postponement OF the subject
from May 10 last, consideration OF the
Brownsville case will again be taken
up by the state tomorrow. Senator
Foraker, who is pushing the bill for
the reinstatement In the army OF the
negro troops discharged by President
Roosevelt for participation in the
Brownsville riot, believes that the
measure will be passed at an early
date.
1t will be recalled that the village
OF Brownsville, Tex, was shot up
on the night OF August IA. 1905. Re
sponslbiity for the ARRAY was at once
charged to the eolored soldiers OF the
Twenty-ffth Infantry. who were sta
toned at Fort Brown. adjoining the
village. An investigation by the ofiie-
ers OF the War Department failed TO
connect any particular soldier or sold
iers with the shooting. II was then
charged that the soldiers Of Compan-
les B. c. and d had entered into a
conspiracy Of silence" to protect their
guilty comrades. Accordingly an or
der was issued by the president to
dismiss all th soldiers Of these three
companies from the service, without
honor"
The debates in the senate we're d.
reeted mainly to a discussion OF the
presidents power in making this
wholesale dismissal. There was some
discussion, Of course, as to whether
the soldiers we're or were not guilty
OF the shooting, and 1t was In one Of
these cross-fires that Senators Spoon
er and TiIlman clAshed in their BIT
ter controversy on the race question.
Late In January. 1907. a resolution
was adopted directing the committee
on Military Affairs to make an inFes-
tig ton into the facts connected with
the shooting. In the COMMITTEES. -
on the senate aoor, Senator Foraker
Of Ohio esPoused the cause Of the
eolored men. Senator Warner Of
Missouri vas chosen 20 see that the
Administration interests we're pro-
tseted at the hearing. For four
months. with only a few Interruptions
the committee held almost daily ses-
slons. In all, 15s Witnesses were ex-
amined. These Witnesses included
army officers. gun experts. eOiored
ana white soldiers residents Of
Brownsville. and others.

On June IL. 1907. the committee
took a recess. Before the COMMITTEES
and elsewhere the soldiers strenuous
~ denied that they we've guilty OF the
shooting, or that they had any know
ledge as to who was responsible for
the outrage. No witness was able to
Identify any particular soldier charg-
ed with being involved IN the ARRAY.
majority OF the members Of the
committee were convinced that the
shooting was the work Of the soldiers.
and that the president was within his
constitutional rights in ordering the
dismissal of the three companies.
on May I3 last the measure for re-
instatement OF the colored soldiers
came up in the senate. Senator For
aker, the champion OF the negroes.
moved for a postponement Of the vote
until December. After the motion by
Senator Culberson, Of Texas. 70 vote
on the bill Immediately had been laid
on the table. Mr.. Foraker's motion
was adopted by a vote OF G2 20 6.
The Ohio senator considered this a
victory and gave out a statement In
which he said that while he had not
passed the bin at that time. he be-
leiyed that It's passage was insured
by the postponement.
There ls nothing 10 indicate that
Senator Foraker has abated his In
terest in the cause Of the discharged
men. He is not that kind OF 4 man
who quits in the middle Of a fight.
There have been frequent reports
that he has something up his sleeve
to who Is responsible for the shoot
ing. This may not be 90. but those
who are familiar with the tactics and
temperament OF the ohioan feel GER
tain the session will be enlivensd By
a continuation Of the aght for the
Black Battalion"
