Roosevelt Stands Pat on Brownsville Orders and Evidence
President Roosevelt sends to the Senate a long message defending the Brownsville affair action and revoking part of the order. The document details eyewitness accounts, shell and bullet findings, and argues the firing came from United States troops of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. It asserts the motive was local tensions and asserts kingship over re-enlistment bans. Roosevelt says further inquiry will follow if new guilt arises.
