Employed Black Battalion Member Linked to San Antonio Raid
Len Reeves, a discharged Black Battalion member, worked at the Fort Sam Houston officers’ club as a waiter after being discharged at Fort Reno. Reeves, arrested in San Antonio on a separate charge, denied knowledge of the Brownsville shooting, which officials say the battalion’s members led in August 1906. Reeves’ brother Willis also worked at the club, and Reeves was briefly jailed before parole and later returned to work at the officers’ club until about a year ago. Reaves’s case and affiliation with the Black Battalion drew attention amid questions about the Brownsville raid.
