The trouble at Brownsville has
been given unusual publicity, and Is
generally we'll understood, especially
among Texans Three companies of
negro soldiers were located in the
old fort there. on the Rio Grande. on
the southernmost point in Texas. and
much trouble occurred between
them and the white residents of the
town. on the night of August 18Th,
1906, a bunch Of thole soldiers ac-
cording 70 the best proof sailed
forth from the foit and shot up
the town. killing one man. wound
ing others and spreading terror, for
q time. among the population. When
IL was found impossible to learn
which individuals among the soldiers
had made the raid. the president
summarily dismissed the whole of
them from the service. Through the
activity, principally. of Senator For

soldiers with much zeal, the matter
was made the subject of a congress

kept alive ever since.

ought to have been dismissed and
ought not to be reinstated and, in

accepted as soldiers at all, because

attractively delivered, was that in
which he gave consideration to the
negro as a citizen. and to the race
question as it affects both whites
and blacks; and that was SO good |

Announcing his conclusion, that it
We're not wise to readmit to the army
a body OF men from five to fifteen
per cent of whom are shown to be
guilty of murder, and many more of
whom have guilty knowledge of the
crime. Senator Frazier said:
