Roosevelt Dismissal Of Troops Sparks Senate Debate
President Roosevelt’s message on discharging members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry provokes a heated Senate debate. Senator Foraker urges sending the issue to a military committee for further investigation while Senator Clay objects to immediate action. The message criticizes the unit for shootings in Brownsville Texas and notes a conspiracy of silence to shield participants. Pension bills totaling over 200 private pensions are passed, and Lodge prompts a normal spelling reprint of the Panama message.
