Brownsville Affair Deepens as Roosevelt Files New Evidence
President Roosevelt sent to Congress a special message with new evidence on the Brownsville incident. Assistant Attorney General Purdy and Maj. Blocksom gathered items including maps, a bandoleer, 33 empty cartridges, seven live rounds, and other bullets. The president asserts the outrages were caused by some of the 25th Infantry colored troops who had knowledge of the act and shielded the guilty. The message renews opposition to barring soldiers from government service and notes the legal power to discharge remains. The Senate debate follows with supporters endorsing the president and arguments on executive versus legislative authority continuing.
