HABEAS CORPUS FOR RELEASE OF
SOLDIERS in THE HOUSTON RIOT

The Kansas Defense Society is an
organization instituted for the pur.
pose of testing the constitutional
rights of the race along civil, politi-
cal and other lines that nay be nee
essary to bring about justice and sen
timent in behalf of the race in this
country. This organization was form
ed because of the conviction and legal
lynching of the thirteen soldiers of
the Gath Infantry at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Texas, last December, 1917, for
participating in a riot at Houston,
Texas, in August of the same year.
1t will be remembered that these
soldiers were acting in self defense
from the fact that they had been mis-
treated and assaulted by the police of
Houston and it had been reported to
them that a mob of white men had
threatened to swoop down upon their
camp and drive them out. Acting on
this information the soldiers prepared
themselves, and receiving orders
from non-commissioned officers that
eAO AhO al uOoSOLull6 upOn IuCIlg
they began to fire and at the same
time marching upon the town, which
action resulted in the death of several
persons.
There have been three court mar
tails. Sixty-three soldiers were tried
in the first, which resulted in the
hanging of thirteen without their
cases ever being reviewed by Presi-
dent Wilson. Forty others were sent
to the Federal prison for life, and the
remaining ten were disposed of in
various ways. Three or four were
sent to military prison, and a few
were given Jail sentences. A second
court martial resulted in the convic-
tion of sixteen, which sentences Pres
ident Wilson has just approved. This
makes a total of nineteen brave Col
ored soldiers to be executed for par
ticipation in the Houston riots.
The evidence shows that this riot
at Houston occurred in the night
when 1t was very dark and 1t was
impossible to tell who were taking
part. These soldiers were convicted
upon circumstantial evidence given
by soldiers forced to testify as they
did on account of fear or promises
made them for their W safety.
Under rules of the court martial
all evidence and findings must be sub
mitted to the President of the United
States, and this was not done In the

recently been increased by over $685.
100000, making a total of approx
mately $500, 100000 that has been or
is being spent by the United States
on camps, environments and military
plants in the South.
A cantonment was located at Louis
vile, KY, at an initial cost of $685.
279. This cantonment was located
there in spite of the recommendation
of two military commissions to the
contrary. Army authorities recon-
mended the use of Fort Benjamin Har-
rison at Indianapolis, where the gov
eminent already owned ample ground
for a cantonment and where there was
in existence quarters large enough to
accommodate a vast number of troops.
Indianapolis was also admirably
adapted for the site of a cantonment
by reason of it's railroad facilities
and a belt line.
Louisville is the home district of
Representative Sherley, Democratic
chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee. Louisville got the $685.
279 cantonment and Indianapolis, the
choice of the military experts, got a
$685., 900 repair depot. On October 4,
last, it was announced that Louisville
was to get another ~cantonment, with
an initial appropriation of $4,000, 900.
This gives Representative Sherley
two environments in his district in
volving the expenditure of nearly $780,
900, 900 of the governments money.

1t is a favorite argument of South
ern Democrats, in excusing this dis
elimination, that the splendid climate
of the Southern states accounts for
the favoritism shown that section Of
the country. Unfortunately for this
argument, the facts do not sustain 1t,
For example, California's climate is
quite as noted for its mildness In win
ter as is the climate of Alabama. Cal
ifornia's climate is far more healthful
than Alabama's, the latter being full
OF malaria.
California received s14.sSO.Ss In
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-11-02

appropriations for army camps and
other military works. Alabama re
ceived $61,3S6,145, or two-fifths as
much as the total appropriations given
to northern and western states.
California subscribed 1858, 194,2 200 to
the Second and Third Liberty Loans,
or "a times what the government
spent on camps in California. Ala
bama subscribed only $3S, 795, 1850 to
those two loans, or less than two
thirds as much as the government had
spent in that state.
But Alabama is the home of Chair
man Dent of the House Committee on
Military Affairs.
Texas the Prize Winner.
Then there is Texas. 1t is notorious
for its "northers," the worst of biz
yards, in winter. In summer it is the
