President Acknowledges Overstepping the Bounds in Brownsville Inquiry
President Roosevelt forwards to the Senate the Purdy and Blocksom findings on The Brownsville Affair. The report supports charges that soldiers from the Twenty Fifth Infantry participated in the Browntown riot and justifies dismissing three companies. The president admits an error in having not dismissed allied troops earlier but defends later actions as constitutional. Evidence, including fourteen eyewitness accounts, indicates the assault involved Black troops and occurred at Browntown, with weapons and ammunition traced to Springfield rifles.
