TPosp Rioting.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2+-Upon re-
turning from the Cabinet meeting to-
day Secretary Baker said the War De-
partment would await investigation
before taking action with respect to
the mutinous negro troops at Houston,
Tex.
When Major-Gen. Parker. command
Ing the Southern Division, has obtained
the facts and placed responsibility where
1t belongs, drastic action. may be ex-
pected. Not only may the whole sys-
TEN Of stationing negro troops in the
South be changed, but the death penalty
may be meted out to soldiers guilty OF
mutiny In time Of war.
judging from Mr.. Bakers attitude.
the policy Of the War Department is to
proceed slowly and cautiously In order
that no denial Of Justice may accompany
the punishment Of the guilty. Care
will be taken not to reflect on the MEM
bers Of the Twenty fourth Infantry who
did not participate In the rioting, but
severe penalties will be inflicted on the
negro troops who "shot up the town
and refused to obey their oh'cers The
fact that these troops are regulars, un-
derstanding the meaning Of military
discipline, makes their offence all the
more grave In the eyes of the War De-
partment Ohicials here say no possible
provocatlon could Justify the mutiny.
Meanwhile. storms Of protest have
come to-day from Southern members OF
Congress here. many OF whom persist
emily have sought to have the War
Department avoid the danger of race
feeling by keeping negro troops else
where than in the South. There Is al
ready talk OF q Congressional investi-
cation into the Houston ARRAY. The
following petition. signed by Senators
Culberson and Sheppard and being cir
culated among Texas House members
by Representative Blanton. will be pre-
sented to President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker tomorrow:
''In view Of the appalling tragedies
involving the destruction Of life and
property which the presence Of negro
troops in Texas has caused and Is caus-
ins. and in view Of tho ,imminence Of
further outbreak involving possibilities
too terrible to mention. We, the Texas
delexation in the national House and
Senate, earnestly urge that negro troops
be taken out Of Texas ana Kept out
permanently"
Senator Sheppard. after . conference
with Secretary Baker to-day. announced
the negro troops would be Withdrawn
from Texas Immediately. He said this
assurance had been given him by Mr.
Baker. An hour later. however. Secre-
tary Baker denied this. He made It
clear that Gen. Parker might take the
negro troops out Of the state II he saw
AZ, but explained the War Department
had no present intention OF directing
him to do 20.
