DEMAND REVERSAL OF ACTIOH TAKEN
Negroes of New York Hold Indignation Meeting Over Brownsville Affair. ,
Ml!
FLAMING SPEECHES MADE
EVIDENCE INTRODUCED CLAIMING TO SHOW THAT WHITE MEM AND NOT NEGROES DID THE SHOOTING.
f Publishers Press. ."few York, Dec. 6. No matter what attention congress shall take in the dismissal of the battalion of the Twenty Fifth Infantry by order of
President Roosevelt for "shooting
up" Brownsville, -Tex.; the New York negroes intend to try and force the
President ot reconsider his action. At
a meeting held tonight In St. Marks
M. E. church resolutions were adopt
ed demanding that the action of the war department be reversed. Despite the fact that a hard rain was falling during the meeting the edifice was crowded to tne doors and an overflow meeting had to be held on the street corner. Speeches were made by all of the negro preachers in New York and by Giist Stewart, president of the Constitutional League who was sent to Brownsville to conduct an investigation of the matter. Stewart made a report of what he had learned in Brownsville, claiming that he had affidavits to prove that the men who did the shooting in Brownsville were white men and not negroes, and he declared that the officers who found exploded cartridge shells which they claimed had been picked up by citizens in the street erred In their characterization. He claimed that only four men of tho battalion were out of their quarters the night of the shooting, and also claims to be able to prove by reputable citizens of Brownsville that the officers who reported on tho case were prejudiced against the negro soldiers.
