Defending the Discharge Of
Negro Soldiers.

Washington. Feb. 1I.-In the
Senate this afternoon the Naval Ap-
preparation bill was called up. but
was laid aside temporarily to enable
Senator McLaurin. OF Mississippi. 20
address the Senate on the subject OF
the bill providing for the appoint
ment OF a military commission TO
pass on the applications for restora-
ton TO the army of former negro
soldiers who were discharged with
out honor" by President Roosevelt.
for alleged participation in or having
guilty knowledge Of the shooting
up" OF Brownsville. Tex.
Senator McI-aurin defended the
course OF the President in discharg-
ing the negro soldiers. He maintained
that the discharge OF these troops
was not a punishment IT was a
necessary act to protect the lives OF
the people and was done for that pur-
pose, and because the negro soldiers
could not serve any further useful
military purpose
In his speech he opened the race
question by saying that the political
ACTIVITY or the negro should be dis
couraSed and not encouraged by any
section or the country. The negro,
ne said, was unfit for f-government
ana no more fit for 1t now than he
was in 1861.
Senator Beveridge Of Indiana in
terrupted to inquire IL that was the
reason the South disfranchIsed the
negro.
SO far as that is concerned. =" re-
torted Mr. McLaurin, II understood
that there are towns In Indiana
where a Niger is not allowed to get
on train and step on the sidewalk. I"
Mr.. Beveridge's voice rose to a
high pitch in repudiating this state
ment. There was not a foot of
Indiana soil. he declared. where
every man, regardless of race. creed
or color, was not allowed 70 exercise
freedom of action and the right to
vote as he pleased. He went on to
say that Senator Tillman had openly
declared that the South would not
permit the negro to vote, and he as
sumed that Senator Tillman on this
question was a spokesman for the
South
With some severity Senator Bacon
of Georgia tcid the Senator from In
diana, that he assumed a great deal
in assuming that Senator TilIman
spoke for anybody but himself and
his State on this question.
Senator Money admonished Mr..
Beveridge that he should not make
such statements OF any body.
Mr.. McLaurin denied the aIlega-
ton for himself and his State, and
said that the facts were that negroes

said. had put q brand upon the ne
gro and the negro could not change
that brand any more than the leopard
could change his spots

lead and talked about the Japanese
situation. It was apparent that
there was Indignation among Sena-
tors over President Rooseyelt's tel

But even those who objected 10

declared that they openly violated

Senator Flint OF California. to
whom the President had given a
clean bill Of health. said that the
President had wanted him to be the
ambassador OF the Government 70 tho
California Legislature. which was
considering the anti-Japanese bills.
but he had declined Co act in that
capacity until his State had called
on him for an expression OF his
views.
Senator Gary insisted that the
question involved in the Crum case
was not whether Crum had perform
ed his duties as Collector in n salts
factory manner. for Mr.. Gary was
willing to admit that he had. but IL
was whether a negro should be placed
in Federal position OF Importance
when he was obnoxious in such DO
sition to the best element OF the
community. In other words. IL was
a social question. Those with whom
DR. Crum came in contact officially
were nearly all white people. Mr..
Gary applied 20 the Crum case the
recognized principle Of diplomacy
that foreign representative who Is
persona non grata should be recalled
by his Government He contended
that this rule has as much force in
the case OF a Federal oficehoider as
IL has in diplomacy.
