PLINTO MASSACRE TROOPS Ex-Soldier’s Sensational Story of Brownsville Affair. THREATS HAD BEEN HEARD The Shooting and Shouting Were All Outside the Walls of the Barracks. ~ Startling testimony concerning al- leged plans to massacre negro sol- diers at Brownsville, Tex. by men from the town firing over tie barracks to stampede the soldiers, and chal- lenges to them to come out of the bar- racks, was given by negro ex-sol- diers at the investigation before the Senate Committee on Military = Af- fairs. The most .sensational story told was that of William Mapp, who was a member of Company C, Twen- ty-fifth Infantry. Mapp said that at breakfast on the morning following the shooting he had heard Wilburt Voschelle, the preser- vation corral boss, and a white man who had been in charge of the corral ‘prior to the arrival of a battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, discussing the case. According to Mapp's story Voschelle said: “Well, it is a good thing it happen- ed as it did. I was out in town last night and the crowd came in front of me-—-the plan was to catch a lot of you fellows in Allison's saloon and massa- cre vou.” Mapp said the remark was not ad- dressed to him and that he question Voschelle. Before giving this testimony Mapp said that on the night of the shoot- ing he had been awakened by the firing and had gone to the window of his cuarters, and from there he several gun flashes and the seemed to directed over the racks.
