 MANY NEGRO SOLDIERS
(Continued From Page One)

SCeHe put OHiy III IllHe to lHION d Noi don between the negroes and crowds of Houston citizens who armed them selves and quietly gathered to oppose the raiders. The negroes then took to the open country in flight, some re- turning to camp. where they were plac- ed under guard and others hiding in buildings and ditches in nearby roads.
 Search For Fugitives.
 Two squads of armed civilians, sworn in as deputies, each squad with captain in command, aided the mil itary forces during the day in the search of the San Felipe district for stragglers from the rioting negro band.
 In addition to the search of the residences and territory immediately surrounding the camp automobile pa trols traversed the roads radiating from the city in all directions in quest of fugitives, in several instances with successful results.
 More Soldiers Arrive.
 A force of approximately 500 men from Fort Sam Houston arrived dur ing the afternoon and a detachment of coast artillery from Fort Crockett, Galveston, relieved the Illinois nation al guardsmen who had been on patrol duty throughout the night without rest. These, with the troops from San Antonio, assumed full control to- night.
 Indignation Expressed.
 Indignation over the outbreak was expressed particularly because of the savageness displayed by the negroes toward the white police officers who were slain and whose bodies in nearly every instance had been hacked with bayonets. Among the Illinois guards men also much feeling was evident be cause of the mutilation of Captain Jo- seph Mates, one of the first to be slain by the rioters.
 Funerals For Victims. Funeral arrangements for the vic tins of the riot were made during the afternoon. The four police officers who died fighting will be given a pub lie funeral Sunday afternoon. An affidavit to the military author. ities by Leroy Pinkett. private in company of the twenty-fourth regi- ment, which participated in the riot ing, giving what he said was a com plete story of the trouble, was made this afternoon. It is as follows:
 Heard Of Shooting.
 Yesterday about p-m. we heard that Corporal Baltimore of our com pany had been shot by special police officer (white officers who ride horses) All the boys said Let's go get the man that shot Baltimore It was getting late then and we stood retreat at o'clock and then heard Sergeant Henry of our company say: well, don't stand around like that. If you are going to do anything, go ahead and do it.
 Filtered Ammunition.
 After that I saw some of the boys slip over to Company K and I heard them say they had stolen the ammu- milton. Then Captain Snow called the men out in line. He asked what we were doing and ordered search made for the ammunition and also or dered that our rifles bel taken up.
 Captain Quoted.
 Another sergeant forget his name-took up our rifles from our tents. In this same talk Captain Snow told us that Baltimore was not in the wrong; that the policeman was in the wrong. I heard him say that. A big fellow in our company named Frank Johnson then came running down the company street, hollering: get your rifles, boys We all made a rush then for the supply camp and got our rifles and we went to a large am intuition box and got our ammunition. Sergeant Henry was the leader.
