Renator Mallory, lndorsiug the action of the president. vpeued the discussion. He held that the president might have | gone too far in preventing the reen listment of the soldiers involved, but | otherwise he approved the president's order of discharge When Senator Clay, who followed, took the floor the delmte was given a lively turn by Mr. Tillman's Interrup- tions. Mr. Clay sald the peoples of Georgia heartily indorsed the pres! dent's order. Senator Bacon followed with what he =ail was reported as a precedent for the Brownsville disorder in the discharge of a company of Seuth Carolina national guardsmen by Senator Tillman when be was gov eruor. This Involved Senator Tillman again in the delate Senator Clay (Ga) disclaimed any in. tention to discuss the race question, saying be did not waut te menopolize a subject that helouged exclusively to “my good friend from South Carolina™ (Mr. Tillman: This stirred Mr. Tillman to activity, and Mr. Clay was hotly questioned as he proceeded to defend the president ou his Brownsville record, According to evidence furnished by Mr Tillman, Mr. Clay sald the whole Twenty-fifth infantry ought to have been discharged fifteen years ago “So far as these pegro soldiers are concerned, | bave ne doubt of their gulit” retorted Mr. Tillman, “1 was trying to locate the man whe was more responsible than the soldiers for this trouble ™ “1 think no oue more responsible than the men who did the shooting" sakl Mr Clay “But can't find out who they are.” persisted Mr Tillman, “so you punish 167 when vot more than twenty at the most bave been charged.” Mr Clay. placed himself empbatical- ly on record ax indorsing the presi dent's action and sald he believed he voloed the sentiment of ‘a majority of the people of Georgia Mr. Bacon had the clerk read a pews paper clipping, announcing that it cited a precedent for the president's action It told of the dismissal of a coipany of the South Carolina national guard by Sewator Tillman, then governor, be- cause they refused to obey onlers dur- ing a disturbance over the enforcement of the liquor laws Mr. Tillman explained the eoeur- rence, declaring the company in gues tion “bandbox soldiers who wanted | thelr uniforms and brass huttons to | help them with the girls” Mr. Bacon sald be thought hoth the senator amd the president had dove You bly Influenciiig any vie els was a de sire to gel rid of the wlored troops. so strong that it impelled the citizens of Brownsville fe shoot up thelr own houses, to kill ene of theicown number, to assault thelr own polles. wounding the lientenant, who had been na officer for twenty vears—all with the purpose of discrediting the negro troops.

The testi. mony of fourteen eyewitnesses is giv- en. and the president declares that the evidence Ix conclysive that the weapons used were Springfield rifles now used by United States troeps, including the negro troops whe were in the garrison at Brownsville, The president submitted also various exhibits, iuciuding maps of Hrowns- ville and Fort Brown, a bandoleer, thirty-three empty shells and seven ball cartridges picked up in the streets a few hours after the shooting and three steel jacketed bullets and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they had been fired.

During thelr advance they shot Into two hotels and some nine or ten other houses. Three of the private houses Into which they fired contained women and children. They deliberate ly killed Frank Natus, a bartewder, shooting him down from a distance of about Afteen yards, They shot at a man and woman, Mr. and Mrs Odin and their little boy as they stood In the window of the Miller hotel, the bullet going less than two luches from the head of the woman.
