NEGRO GIVES BROWNSVILLE FACTS Continued from Pago On* actively concerned In the shooting, either to the extent of being partlcl- nsnts or to. the extent of virtually ene I'iiuraglng those who were participants. as to companies C and D, there can be „0 question that practically overy man n them must have had knowledge that he shooting was done by some of the soldiers of B troop, and possibly by one .or two others In one of the. other tr< *‘Thls concealment was Itself a grave offenst* which was greatly aggravated hv their testifying before the senate by their testifying committee that they were Ignorant of Bhat they must have known. Never- tbeless, It Is to be said In partial ex- tenustlon that they were probably cowed by threats, made by the more desperate of the men who had actually been engaged In the shooting, as to what would happen to any man who failed to' protect the wrongdoers. Encouraged to Deny. "Moreover, there are circumstances lending to show that these misguided men were encouraged by outsiders to oerslst In their course of concealment and denial. I feel, therefore, that the guilt of the men who, after the event, thus shielded the perpetrators of. the wrong by refusing to tell the truth about them, tho serious, was In part due to the unwise and Improper at titude of others, and that some measure of allowance should be qiade for the misconduct. •In other words. I believe we can afford to reinstate any of these men who now truthfully tell what has hap pened. give all the aid they can to fix the responsibility upon those who are really guilty, and show that they them selves had no guilty knowledge before hand and were In no way Implicated In the affair, save by having knowl edge of It afterwards and falling and refusing to divulge it. To Reinstate Some. "Under the circumstances, and In view of the length of time they have been nut of the service, and their loss of the benefit that would have accrued to them by continuous long-time serv ice. we can afford to treat the men who meet the requirements given above as having been sufficiently punished by the consequences they brought upon themselves when they rendered nec essary the exercise of the disciplinary power. I recommend that a law be passed allowing the secretary of war, within n fixed period of time, say a year, to reinstate any of these soldiers whom he, after careful examination, finds to have been Innocent and whom he finds to have done all In his power to help bring to Justice the guilty. “Meanwhile the Investigation will be continued. The results have made It obvious that only by carrying on the Investigation as the war department has actually carried It on Is there the slightest chance of bringing the offend ers to Justice or of separating not tho Innocent, for there were doubtless hardly any Innocent, but the less guilty from those whose guilt was heinous.” Conyers’ Confession.
