CONGRESS- TO PROVIDE MONEY
EXTRA PAY Is NEEDED FOR
BROWNSVILLE BOARD.
Only Retired Officers Above Rank Of
Major to Serve on Re-enlistment
Court of Inquiry.

The President finds himself somewhat
hampered In the execution Of the For
aker act providing for the appointment
of an army court of inquiry to determine
the eligibility for re-enlistment of the SOL
diers of the 25th Infantry (coiored) dis
charged on account OF the Brownsville
affray, because the act makes no spe-
cial provision to meet certain expenses
connected with the investigation. Owing
to the peculiar conditions Of the case 1t Is
deemed advisable to select retired officers
not below the grade of colonel for service
on the court. Retired officers below the
rank OF major assigned to active duty
are allowed the full pay Of their grade.
That cannot be done in the case of the
Brownsville court, however, without spe-
cific authority Of Congress, owing to the
higher rank Of its personnel
After conference with Secretary Dick
inson on the subject the President has
decided to ask Congress to authorize the
payment of full active pay to all officers
on the retired list who serve on the
Brownsville court in accordance with the
act providing for that court. The pref
erence for retired officers is due to the
scarcity Of available active officers and
the Discrimination to take the latter from
their regular military duties. The COM
position OF the court has been practically
upOH dIlO LILO ilOuHdl Will U6
organized as soon as Congress has a,i-
thorized the desired extra compensation
for the retired membership.
Among the officers said to have been
considered for membership on the court
are Lieut.. Gems. Bates, Chaffee. Young,
Miles and Macarthur. Maj. Gen. q. w.
Davis and Brig. Gen. Schwan and Judge
Advocate Gen. Lieber. All the officers
named are on the retired list. with the
exception OF Gen. Macarthur, who re-
tires next June.
