TIIE ' PRESIDEIJTS ORDER "llsgro Soldisrs Discharged at Fort Reno, Oklahoma. ne Officers Cannot Believe That They Themselves WTUl Be CoortOIartialled. Fort Reno, Oklahoma. The order Tor the discharge of the 167 negroes comprising Cos. B, C and D, of the 3wenty-fifth Infantry, who were sta tioned at Fort Brown at the time, of tie trouble there, was received here. Jt reads: 1 "By order of the President the fol lowing named enlisted men, who, on August 13, were members of B, C and D Companies of the Twenty fifth. Infantry, which took part in the . trouble which occurred in Brownsville, Texas, on the night of August 13, 1906, will be discharged without honor from the army by their respective commanding officers and forever debarred from re-enlisting in the army or navy of the United States, as well as from em ployment in any civil capacity under the Government." The names include those of sev eral men whose terms of enlistment lias expired since the Brownsville affair and have already been given honorable discharges from the ser vice. Eight of these have re-enlistrd in other companies and regiments. All of the officers at this post, in cluding those of the Thirtieth In lantry as well as-of the Twenty-fifth, believe that everything possible nas ieen done to detect the men who en gaged in the Brownsville rioting, and they will not believe that there wil be any court-martial of the offi cers in command at Fort Brown. "We have tried to shield no men. liut have used every effort to find I he guilty ones," said an officer of the lishonored battalion. "As the time for the discharge of the troops has seared, they have redoubled their efforts to find out the guilty men. They have kept the men under the closest espionage. They have noted what men seemed to chum together, their actions and anything else that might lead to the detection of the fruilty men." Many of the men now to be dis honorably discharged are veterans who have served in Cuba and in the Philippines. At EI Caney the regi snent was at the front and two of the companies were in the very hoi test of the conflict. Thetr conduct excited praise. As they marched lack from the bloody slope after victory had been won they were greeted with cheers by the Second Massachusetts Volunteers. During the service of this regiment the de sertions and absences without leave were comparatively few. Of the men to be mustered out fully seventy per cent, have won medals and decora tions for meritorious service In Cuba and the Philippines. KOOSEVELT ARRIVES ATCOLOX.
