fifty yards from the garrison wall,
naturally the other negroes who were
at Fort Brown could hear the chill
dren sing this little song about them.
This added to their angry and sullen
mood.
The incidents which I have relat-
ed were the bubbles which burst Ia
the surface of that seething cauldron,
the negro-garrisoned Fort Brown.
How much Of each of them contribut-
ed 10 the explosion is a matter Of
conjecture.
Within half an hour after the re-
tirement Of the soldiers to Fort
Brown, large bodies Of citizens fully
armed appeared on the streets, and
when the seriousness Of the facts
became known their excitement was
very great. At the earnest pleading
Of DR.. Combe. the mayor of Browns
vile. that they repair TO their
homes and await the action Of the
authorities, they reluctantly dis
persed.
At no time before or after the
raid was a shot fired by any citizen
Of Brownsville az or toward Fort
Brown. or the soldiers OF Fort
Brown. except the shots which were
fired by n policeman as an alarm
after the firing Of the soldiers COM
menced.
The citizens or Brownsville i'm
mediately asked that these troops be
moved aawy as a pr~ecaution against
the recurrence Of a similar affair.
The officers appeared to have no CON
troll OF them and confessed that they
we've unable 70 point out any Of the
guilty. ones. The main reason why
the citizens Of Brownsville wanted
these troops removed was this: IL
was necessary to keep n large force
Of the Brownsville citizens on guard

behind while the other pushed his
way through the ladies. thus forcing
them out OF the way. Mr.. Tate. see

the negro down with the butt Of his

away; even the one who IA knocked
down managed TO scramble up and

treated any man in this name who
had acted rudely toward his wife.
Still another incident helped 10
bring on the raid. On August IL
two negro soldiers who were intoX-
icated came t. the ferry landing from
Matamoros. They refused to pay
their fare and began to use profane
language. The United States officers

the back yard of her home. where a
negro soldier sprang from behind the
steps and pulled her hair. Her horse

negro then went over the fence and
disappeared.
Still one more incident brought on
the raid. The children who were at
the party given at Mr.. Cowan's home

negro soldiers were the ones who
had shot up Brownsville.
However, another court was held
in Washington. The witnesses were
better treated here than at San An
tcnio. A special Pullman coach was
chartered in which .hey were to 90
to Washington. This was a pleas
ure trip. The trial lasted ten days.
The Brownsville citizens learned
again that the negro soldiers were
guilty. AS a result, President Roos-
evelt discharged the whole company
because it was impossible to ferret
out the guilty parties. These ne

during the trial, however, that these

In Nebraska.
Trial at Washington
After trial at Washington, where
loyal citizens Of Brownsville learn
ed for the second time the a~ll-too-
evident fact that il was the negroes
who raided Brownsville, the witness
es returned home and resumed the
event of their way. Twenty years
have now passed away, and relations
between Fort Brown and Browns
Vile have been most cordial. The
personnel Of the fort adds much to
the city life and the negro raid
with all its by-tragedies, the hate
and prejudice per force that Il en-
gendered, and the intense excite
ment that il created. has passed
into the limbo Of things forgotten;
only a grim-faced man who carries
an empty sleeve. and who. as he
walks about the streets of Browns
vile, is greeted with respect and
affection by every man, woman, and
child, is left to remind the towns
men that over the quiet streets of
their beautiful city there once
brooded the dark clouds Of a tense
race war.
