OF BROWNSVILLE SOLDIERS
SAYS PRESIDENT is GUILTY OF
VIOLATING LAW.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Senator
Foraker spoke today In the senate OF
the Brownsville case. The speech was
a lengthy one. and full OF excerpts
from the documents in the celebrated
case. Ii consisted mainly OF an argi'
,nent in favor OF the discharged bat

70 authority in law TO discharge the
soldiers. and an arraignment or the
president for his action. The senator
criticized President Roosevelt in Sc
we're terms.
Senator Foraker said in part.
ANY one reading this message and
not examining for himself the tesi-
mony upon which these statements are
tased, would naturally conclude tina.
The facts stated have been establish
cd by clear and overwhelming evil
dence, especially so II he had no pre-
yious knowledge OF the president.
ITO show that this testimony upon
which the president made three un-
qualified statements was utterly unre-
liable. and that IL failed absolutely to
establish the facts 80 unQualihedly
set forth by him in his message. II
was not necessary to do more than
analyze IL In the presence OF the sen
ate.
by that analysis II was shown that,
instead CT scores OF eye-witnesses To
the shooting, there was only eight. all
told, and their testimony was SO III
definite and uncertain as to be eh-
tirely insufficient to warrant the seri-
GUS and unqualified conclusions that
were, drawn therefrom.
He has resorted to a method In his
effort to secure such testimony that
cannot be fittingly characterized with
out the use OF language, which II em-
ployed, might appear TO be disrespect'
tul to the chief executive.
And worst Of all-in this endeavor 10
secure such testimony the president
has, himself, committed the serious
offense--condemned by every court
that administers the common law, that
has ever had occasion to speak on the
subject-of holding out TO these men

ing such testimony. in the form OF

he has become utterly oblivious TO all
the restraints OF law, decency and pro
priety. In his mad pursuit of those
helpless victims OF his ill-considered
action. Moreover, shall be able to
show, think, that all this has been
done without authority OF law and
with public money that has been
filched from the public treasury In
fiat defiance OF the constitution and

Relief trains have been sent to the

No cause has been assigned for the

Pathetic scenes were enacted around
