President Roosevelt Stands Pat on His Brownsville The President To-day Transmitted to C on aress Another Special Messgge Relating to Brownsville Muddle. Makes Slight Change in Orders, But as a Whole Stands Pat. New Evi dence Presented The Message in Full. Washington, D. C., Jan. 14.—Presi dent Roosevelt sent to the Senate a special message regarding the Browns ville incident, which gives the addi ional evidence, collected by Assist ant Attorney General Purdy and Major 'president submitted, with vari mls exhibits, including maps of Brownsville and Fort Brown, Bande leer 33 emptv shells, 7 ball cartridges, picked up in the streets after the shooting: 3 steel jacketed bullets and some scraps of casing of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they were fired. . The negro troops are referred to by the President in his message as "mid night assassins." That part of the or der which bars the soldiers from the civil employment under the govern ment is revoked by the President. This clause, the President says, was lack- Ins in validity. Secretary Taft's report giving the sworn testimony of witnesses, is transmitted with the message. The testimony of fourteen eye-witnesses is given and the President declares that the evidence is conclusive that the weapons used were Springfield rifles now used by United States trcops, including the negro troops who %ere in the garrison at Brownsville. The President's message follows: To The Senate: In my message to the Senate treat-1 ing of the dismissal without honor, of , certain named members of the three j companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry I gave the reports of the officers upon which the dismissal was based. These reports were made in accor dance with the custom in such cases; for it would, of course, be impossible . to preserve discipline in the army i save by pursuing precisely the course j that in this case was pursued. In as ; much, however, as in the Senate, ques tion was raised as to the sufficiency of the evidence, I deemed it wise to send Major Blocksom, and Assistant Attorney to the Attorney General Purdy to Brownsville to make a thor- j ough investigation on the ground in reference to the matter. I herewith ! transmit Secretary Taft's report and testimony taken under oath of the va- J rioas witnesses examined in the course of the investigation. I also submit va-, rious exhibits, including maps of Brownsville and Fort Brown, photo graphs of various buildings, a letter from Judge Parks and his wife, togeth er with a bandoler. 33 empty shells, seven ball cartridges and four clips picked up in the streets of Browns ville within a few hours after shooting; three steel jacketed bullets and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they had been fired. A telegram from I'nited States Commissioner R. B. Creager, at Brownsville, announces that six additional bullets —like the ethers from Springfield rifles —taken from buildings in Brownsville, with supporting affidavits have since been sent to the Secretary of War. It appears from the testimony that on the night of the 13th of August, ISOG, several crimes were committed by some person or persons in the city of Erownvillc. Among these were the following: (A) The murder of Frank Natus. (B) The assault with intent to kill the Lieutenant of Police. Dominguez, Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. t-uLca-th?

(E) The shooting at and slightly wounding of Presiado. These crimes were certainly com mitted by somebody. As to the motive for the commission of the crimes, it appears that troubles of a more or less serious kind had occurred between individual members of the companies and individual citi zens of Brownsville, culminating in complaints which resulted in the sol diers being confined within the limits of the garrison on the evening of the day in queston. The evidence as will be seen, shows beyond any possibility of honest ques tion that some individuals among the colored troops whom I have dismissed, committed the outrages mentioned; and that some or all of the other indi viduals whom I dismissed had knowl edge of the deed and shielded from the law those who committed it. The only motive suggested as pos sibly influencing any one else was a desire to get rid of the colored troops, so strcng that it impelled the citizenss of Brownsville to shoot up their own houses, to kill one of their own num ber, to assault their own police, wound ing the lieutenant, who had been an officer for 20 years—all with the pur pose of discrediting the negro troops. The suggestion is on its face so ludi crously impossible that it is difficult to treat it as honestly made. This theory supposes that the assailants succeeded in obtaining the uniform of the negro soldiers; that before start ing on their raid they got over the fence of the fort unchallenged, and without discovery by the negro troops, opened fire on the town from within the fort; that they blacked their faces so that at least fourteen eye-witnesses mistook them for negroes; that they disguised their voices so that at least six witnesses who heard them speak mistook their voices for those of ne groes. They were not Mexicans, for they were heard by various witnesses to speak English. The weapons they used were Springfield rifles; for the ammunition which they used was that of the Springfield and no other and could not have been used in any gun in Texas or any part of the Union or in Mexico, or in any other part of the world, save only in the Springfield now used by the United States troops, in cluding the negrotroops in the garrison at Brownsville, and by no other per sons save these troops—a weapon which had only been in use by the United States troops for some four or five months prior to tfco scooting in question and which is rmfc ia the possession of priviate citizes?.?. The cartridges used will into one other rifle used in the united States when specially chambered —the Winchester of the '95 model—but it will rarely if ever go off when in it; and, moreover, the bullets picked out of the buildings show the markings of the four so-called "lands" which come from being fired through the Spring field, but not through the Winchester, the latter showing six. The bullets which I herewith submit, which were i found in the houses, could not there fore have been fired from a Winches i ter or any other sporting rifle, although the cartridges might have been put into a Winchester model of '95. The bullets might have been fired from a Krag, but the cartridges would not have gone into a Krag. Taking the shells and the bullets together, the proof is conclusive that the new Springfield rifle was the weapon used by the midnight assassins, and could not by any possibility have been any other rifle of any kind in the world. This of itself establishes the fact that the assailants were United States sol diers, and would be conclusive on this point if not one soldier had been seen or heard by any residents in Browns ville on the night in question, and if nothing were known save the finding of the shells, slips and bullets. Fourteen eye-witnesses, namely, Charles R. Chase, Amando Martinex, Mrs. Kate Leahy, Palerno Presiado, Ygnocio Dominiguez, Macedonio Rami rez, George W. Randall, Jose Marti nez, J. P. McDonald, F. H. A. Sanborn, Herbert Elkins, Hale Odion, Mrs. Hale Odion, and Judge Parks, testified that they saw the assailants or some of them at varying distances and that they were negro troops, most of the witnesses giving their testimony in such shape that there is no possibility of their having been mistaken. Two other Joseph Bodin and Genero Padron, saw some of the as sailants and testified that they were soldiers (the only soldiers in the neighborhood being the colored troops) Four other witnesses, namely S. C. Moore, Doctor Thorn, Charles S. Can ada, and Charles A. Hammond, testi fied to hearing the shooting and hear ing the voices of the men who were doing it, and that these voices were those of negroes, but did not actually see the men who were doing the shoot ing. Ab6ut 25 other witnesses gave tes timony corroborating to a greater or less degree the testimony of those who thus saw the shooters or heard them. The testimony of these eye and ear witnesses would establish beyond all possibility of contradiction the fact that the shooting was committed by 10 or 15 or more of the negro troops from the garrison, and this testimony of theirs would be amply sufficient in itself if not a cartridge or a bullet had been found; exactly as the bullets an'l cartridges that were found have estab lished the guilt of the troops even had i not a single eye witness seen them or other witnesses heard them. The testimony of the witnesses and the position of the bullet holes show that 15 or 20 of the negro troops Ask for the Genuine f And see tHat you get what you ask for The largely increased demand for Sun Cured tobacco, created and sustained by the distinctive quality of the original Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco, has encouraged other manufacturers to place on the market imitation brands and tags which are made to look so near like the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured that unsuspecting chewers and dealers receive the imitations under the belief that they are getting the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured tobacco. Look close and see that the letters on the tag spell R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s' Srn Cured, and you cannot be deceived in getting what you ask for and want, —the best value for your money that can be produced from the genuine Sun Cured tobacco, grown where the best sun-cured tobacco grows.

REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C. gathered inside the fort and that the first shots fired into the town were fired from the fort; some of them at least from the upper gal leries of the barracks. The testimony further shows that the troops then came out over the \#alls, some of them perhaps going through the gate, and advanced a dis tance of 300 yards or thereabouts into the town. During their 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 shot down the lieutenant of police, who was on horseback, killing his horso and wounding him so that his arm had to be amputated. They attempted to kill the two policemen who were his com panions, shooting one through the hat. They shot at least eight bullets into the Cpwen Jio.use,. putting, out a light ed lamp on the dining room table. Mrs. Cowen and her five children were in the house; they at once threw them selves prone on the floor and were not hit. They, fired into the Stark house, the bullets going through the mosquito bar of a bed from 18 to 20 inches above where their children were sleeping. There was a light in the children's room. The shooting took place near mid night. The panic caused by the ut terly unexpected attack was great. The darkness, of course, increased the confusion. There is conflict of testi mony on some of the minor points, but every essential point is establish ed beyond possibility of honest question. The careful ex ami na lion ot Mr. Purdy, assistant to the Attorney General result ed merely in strengthening the reports already made by the Regular Army au thorities. 1 The shooting, it appears, occupied about ten minutes, although it may have been some minutes more or less. It is out of the question that the fifteen or twenty men engaged in the assault could have gathered be hind the wall of the fort, begun fir ing, some of them on the porches of the barracks, gone out into the town, fired in the neighborhood of two hun dred shots in the town and then return ed —the total time occupied from the time of the first shot to the time of their return being somewhere in the neighborhood of ten minutes —without many of their comrades knowing what they had done. Indeed, the fullest de tails established by the additional evi dence taken since I last communicated with the Senate make it likely that there were very few, if any of the scldiers dismissed who could have been ignorant of what occurred. It is well nigh impossible that any of the non commissioned officers who were at the barracks should not have known what occurred. The additional evidence thus taken renders it in my opinion impossible to question the conclusion upon which my order was based. I have gone most carefully over every issue of law and fact that has been raised. I am now satisfied that the effect of my order dismissing these men without honor was not to bar them from all civil employment under the government, and therefore that the part of the or der which consisted of a declaration to this effect was lacking in validity and I have directed that such portion be revoked. As to the rest of the or der, dismissing the individuals in question without honor, and declaring the effect of such discharge under the law and regulations to be a bar to their further re-enlistment either in the army and navy, there is no dougt of my constitutional and legal power. The order was within my discretion, under the constitution and laws, and cannot be reviewed or reversed save by another executive order. The facts did not merely warrant the action I took —they rendered such action im perative unless I was to prove false to my sworn duty. If any one of the men discharged hereafter shows to my satisfaction that he is clear of guilt, or of shielding the guilty, I will take what action is war ranted; but the circumstances I have above detailed most certainly put up- on any such man the burden of clear ing himself. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House. January 14, 1907. Secretary Taft, in his report, after giving a resume of the evidence, i-;ims up as follows: "The evidence conclusively demon strates that the firing must have Leen done by men with the rifles of Springfield 1903 model, the only rifles of this kind in or near Brownsville being in the possession of the sol diers of the three companies, B, C, and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry." "Cartridge shells were found out side of the garrison wall near Eliza beth street and all the way up the alley from the garrison road to Twelfth street, especially at the Cowan housed at the Leahy' Hotdlj at the Miller Hotel, at the Tillman sa loon and at Twelfth street near the intersection of the alley. * * * * Some 32 shells, seven loaded cart ridges and two or three slips were (collected from Mayor Combe and ethers by Major Blocksom and Mr. Purdy, and were subjected to expert examination by military officers at Fort Sam Houston and by Captain l\?ce and General Crozier, of the ord nance bureau. They proved to be, all of them, ammunition with marks indicating that they were manufac tured exclusively for the govern ment, and for use only in the Spring f eld rifle of the model of 1903, witb which the battalion at Fort Brown was armed. Three bullets were ex tracted, one in the presence of Maj. Blocksom at the Cowan house; one b> Maj. Blocksom from the Yturria l'ouse; and one by Mr. Garza, from bis own house, on the southeast torner of the alley and Fourteenth street. "The evidence is conclusive that there were no guns except the Springfield guns which would dis charge the bullets from the cart ridges." The Secretary concludes as fol lows: "There is a conflict as to tho cir cumstances growing out of the evi dence of the witnesses, which is entirely natural in respect to trans actions and the direction of sounds during the night, and there are some things about the evidence of McDon ald, Mrs. Odin and of Preciado, who testify with such detail as to seeing the negro soldiers —the one at gar risen wall, the next at the alley of Miller's Hotel, and the third at the Tillman saloon —which in view of pre vious statements, shake some the weight of what they say. Mrs. Odin's statements bear evidence of being affected by conversations with her husband, and there is a somewhat auspicious agreement as to exact de tails between their two statements. But taking their evidence and all the ether evidence together with the well nigh mathematical demonstra tion with respect to the cartridges and bullets, I venture to say that no ore can read this evidence judicially without being convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the men who committed this outrage were negro toldiers from Fort Brown, and there fore of the battalion of the Twenty fifth Infantry stationed there. "Another conviction that forces itself upon the mind from the read ing of this evidence, is that what took place on the porches and just tack of the barracks, the volleying, 'he noise, the assembly of the men, and the walking along the porches, could not have taken place without awakening and attracting the atten tion of all who were in 'the barracks, privates and non-commissioned offi cers, whether asleep or not, and that it is utterly impossible that they should not have been aware of what was going on when the firing con tinued for at least eight or ten min utes thereafter. That a guard which vas on watch, with a sergeant in charge, 400 feet from where the first firing took place should not have been aware this was the work of their comrades^is utterly impossible. "The sworn testimony of every man of the battalion who was in the neighborhood of Fort Brown was taken and was in the record origi nally submitted. In this each man denies that he engaged in the shoot ing or knew anything about it. On the face of the evidence already re viewed, the denials under oath by the men of the battalion do not over come or meet the overwhelming evi dence that men of this battalion did do the shooting, contained in the testimony already submitted to the Senate, and confirmed by the evi dence herewith transmitted." NEW GOVERNOR TO-MORROW Columbia, S. C., Jan. 14.—Martin F. Ansel will be inaugurated governor ot South Carolina on Tuesday, Jan. 15. After four years of successful administration D.
