Mitchell Street, ATLANTA, GA. J Washington, Dec. 6.—In his annual report Secretary* of War Taft reviews the events leading to the “shooting up" of th© town of Brownsville, Tex., on August 14, last, by unidentified negro soldiers of Companies B, C and D. of the Twenty-fifth infantry, the crime proper, th© Investigation and subse quent discharge, without honor, of the member* of the battalion. Tfte secretary concedes the hardship worked on the innocent, but holds (here were feu* men In the battalion without knowledge of the Identity of the raid ers. He declares that Inability to die- ringulf;h guilty from innocent makes the whole battalion worthless. Two Conspiracies Charged. The existence of a conspiracy for the perpetration of the crime, and a later conspiracy of silence on the part of th© battalion, whereby the criminals were permitted to escape. Is established by the report. The secretary Justifies the government’s-course and answers crit tclsms directed at It. No reference Is made to the devei opments which led him to temporarily suspend the order of discharge, and which created alleged friction between himself and th© president. The battalion was sent to Browns ville July 2$. over the protest of the townspeople. From the first, thero was friction between the troops and thfi people of the town. Angry at Saloonists. Many of the saloons compelled the soldiers to drink at separate bars, n discrimination they resented bitterly. The secretary reports that no serious Injury was done to any of the troops, although one of them was knocked down by a government official, who charged him with having Jostled his wife. Another one was pushed off a gang-plank by a customs Inspector, be cause, It Is claimed, he was drunk and disorderly. In cttulillflilng the existence of the two conspiracies, the report sn.ra: "Out rff n battalion of 179 enlisted men in the army of the t’nlted fttntc*. from nine to twenty men formed a preconcert- f«l plan to revenge tbennelret upon the people of n town In which they were sta tioned for the Insult* they felt that the townspeople had heaped won them.
