Purdy Goes to Texas In Quest to Prove Guilt
President Roosevelt assigns Milton D. Purdy to Brownsville to obtain legal evidence alleging that colored soldiers caused the August 14 shooting. He also releases White House correspondence supporting the claim the Sixtieth Ohio Regiment was discharged for disorganization and mutiny. The move sparks wide controversy over the battalion’s dismissal and competing testimony.
