Fear Repetition of
Brownsville Affair
Secretary Baker Instructs General
Funston To Stop Rioting
in Texas.

Secretary of War Baker has tele-
Eraphed General Funston to take i'm
mediate steps to stop further trouble
at Del Rio, Tex, where John Wade, a
private OF the Twenty-fourth Infantry.
q colored regiment, was shot and killed
by a Texas Ranger.
Congressman Garner OF Texas re-
pcrted the matter to the War Depart
ment after receiving kilograms stating
that soldiers OF the Twenty-fourth In
fantry had surrounded a house In
which the ranger had taken refuge and
fired a broadside at the house.
Texans telegraphed the Congressman
that they feared repetition of the
BI townsville incident.
The Texans demanded that the colored
troops be withdrawn. Secretary Baker
has left this up to General Funston. 1t

the soldiers who participated In the riot
ing will follow. The army will leave
to the civil authorities the duty OF pro-
cCeding against the ranger who killed
