Race debate and neutrality laws amid military bill discussion
Lawmakers debated the Military Academy appropriation and ground improvements at West Point while addressing race and social equality. Remarks by Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky sparked criticism of northern and southern attitudes toward blacks, with Gillett of Massachusetts and others defending equal regard and denouncing lynching and political fraud. A separate note praised a Kansas City Journal editorial urging stronger anti trust measures amid rising public sentiment.
