Brownsville Inquiry Recess Leaves Key Questions Open
A Brownsville inquiry transcript notes the investigation is on recess with no final verdict. It outlines President Theodore Roosevelt’s dismissal of soldiers without honor, the collection of affidavits, shells, and cartridges, and the effort to identify guilty parties while preserving due process for the 167 discharged soldiers. The testimony suggests none of the battalion were involved, and the defense argues the process was unfair and biased against the accused.
