Confederate Veterans Invite G. A. R.
Camp to Fredericksburg Reunion.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FREDERICKSBURG, Tex., March 21.—
An interesting and notable occurrence,
demonstrating the lack of sectional feel-
ing and prejudice now existing between
the heroes of the Civil War, occurred
when Gen. W. T. Melton, commander of
Mount Remnant Brigade, a few days ago
wrote Judge Clarence Martin, requesting
that the reunion committee extend an
invitation to the G. A. R. Camp of this
district to attend the U. C. V. reunion,
to be held at Fredericksburg, and enjoy
all its urlvileges.
Major Charles W. Penrose, accused in
the Penrose courtmartial, told his story
of the Brownsville raid yesterday.
In an examination covering more than
four hours, he related the events at
Brownsville and Fort Brown as he per-
sonally saw them or as they were told
him. His direct examination covered a
greater period than his cross examina-
tion.
What he said was corroborated by some
of his own witnesses. Again his story
related certain details that were contra-
dictory of some of the testimony the
former discharged soldiers have given on
the stand.
Major Penrose, among other things,
said the steps he took on the night of
Aug. 13 were as a precautionary measure
for his men. Like other witnesses that
have testified in behalf of the defense
he said he then thought the people of
Brownsville had fired on the fort.
He changed his opinion, however, after
being shown shells and clips. Communi-
cations written by him expressed the be-
lief that the soldiers did the shooting. He
told of his appeals to the men to cast
a ray of light upon the raid that night,
but not one of them divulged their se-
crets if they had any.
In conclu.sion Major Penrose said he
had never been satisfied that tlie men
did the shooting as charged against them.
Other witnesses during the defy were
Major Charles J. T. Clarke, Twenty-
sixth Infantry, a member of the court;
Mrs. Kate K. Leahy of Brownsville, who
wan decidedly theatrical and declared the
Brownsville raid to be the only black
spot on the American flag; and Walker
McCurdy, a former member of the dis-
charged battalion.
The court refused to allow the prosecu-
tion to place Amada Martinez on the
stand in rebuttal.
Clarke Takes the Stand.
Major Charles J. T. Clarke, Twenty-
sixth Infantry, was the first witness for
the defense yesterday morning. Witness
said he had known Major Penrose thlrty-
one years. Major Clarke's battalion was
sent to Fort Reno last November and re-
mained there until the Battalion of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry was discharged.
q.—Tell the court what the conduct of
th'»se men was. A.—I observed their con-
duct. which was at all times excellent.
g.-How would you describe them as to
discipline. A.—The discipline was excel-
lent ami at all times the men were neat
and soldierly.
Q.—What was their conduct after Aug.
13? A.—So far as I can ascertain by in-
vestigation the men conducted themselves
well. There was no disorder among
t hem."
Major C. W. Penrose was then placed
on the stand. He related his service cov-
ring twenty-two years in the Eleventh
Infantry, Twenty-third Infantry, Twenty-
eighth Infantry and Twenty-fifth In-
fo ntrv. He reached his majority in
October, 1003, and took up service with
the Twenty-fifth Infantry in May, 19(M.
Q.—How did the discipline and conduct
of the Battalion of the Twenty-fifth In-
fantry compare with other troops you
have commanded? A.—I considered it the
best drilled and best disciplined battalion
in the Army. After their discharge, the
men conducted themselves admirably,
although they were allowed no privileges,
and were worked hard. Only five of them
ere guilty of disobedience of orders.
After their discharge I observed them
closely and was in constant communica-
tion with the civil authorities and none
of them was guilty of disorder."
Witness then related the arrival of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry Battalion. He had
visited Brownsville seldom and had taken
several meals at the Miller Hotel. His
only social call at Brownsville was upon
Capt. William Kelly. Witness then told
of the varlour, incidents. He produced
letters and an affidavit in connection
with the Tate-Newton affair, stating
what Private Newton had told him
about it.
Witness said he told Newton that if he
was rude in any way. any man would
have done what Mr. Tate did though he
did not approve the method. "I told him
that if he was in the wrong I would pre-
fer charges against him. If he was in
the rlpht I would do all in my power to
get justice for him. The man who was
with Newton corroborated his statement
in every detail."
Report 18 Read.
Captain Murphy then read Captain
Macklin's report on the incident, also the
affidavits of the two soldiers. Letters
were then read from Major Penrose to
j. W. Vann, collector of customs, a reply
from Deputy Collector A. A. Brown. A
letter from Mr. Vann was also read.
Witness then told of the Clifford Adair
affair, the Baker-Reed affair and then
of the Evans incident.
"Tell the court all about the Evans in-
cident."
"I think it was about o'clock on
the afternoon of Auk. 13, I had just fin-
ished dressing for dinner and was on my
wav to the post exchange when I was
stopped by Dr. Coriibe and a gentleman
T had never met before. Dr. Combe left
the carriage and then introduced Mr.
Evans. Mr. Evans then told me that his
wife had been assaulted the nisrht before
by a negro, who she was positive was a
negro soldier. Mrs. Evans had returned
from the train. His wife entered the

BROWNSVILLE
CITIZENS MAKE A
WARM PROTEST
Attempt to Fasten Infamy of
August 13 on Townspeople
Causes Indignation.
MASS MEETING HELD;
RESOLUTIONS PASSED
BROWNSVILLE), Tex., March 21.—At
a mass meeting of citizens of Browns
ville tonight resolutions were adopted ex
pressing the indignation of the people
of this city because of what is termed
an attempt being made both by the
courtmartial proceedings now in progress
at Fort Sam Houston and before the
Senatorial committee at Washington "to
clear negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry of the crime committed against
the town of Brownsville ori August 13
last by fastening the infamy on the
townspeople themselves."
The resolutions declare that "such a
consummation would be a grave miscar-
riage of justice and an outrage upon a
wronged and innocent people who know
beyond the shadow of a doubt that tiio
outrage was committed by the soldiers.'
Invitation to Investigate. 1
The Senatorial committee and also the
Penrose courtmartial are urged to come
to Brownsville and make a thorough in-
vestigation, as well as to hear the tes-
timony of the citizens here.
The resolution points out that there
exists much in the nature of what they
consider irrefutable physical evidence in
this city to show that he shooting was
done by the soldiers 'md not by citi-
zens. such as house?. riddled by army
bullets, some of whi. h were duu from
the walls by Mai. .\. P. Blocksom. in-
spector general of the army, while the
four-story barracks buildings at Fort
Brown, each 100 feet long, fronting the
street that divides the post from the
town, and only fifty feet from it, show
not a bullet hole to indicate that the
citizens fired at them.

District Attorney Presents Affida-

for Lunacy Commission.
DEFENSE NOT READY
TO MEET THE ISSUE
Both Sides Have Until Saturday at 2
o'Clock in Which to File Farther Evi-
dence on the Sanity Question—Del-
mas Still in the Case.
NEW YORK, March 21.—District Attor-
ney Jerome today presented to Justice
Fitzgerald eight affidavits in support of
the suggestion he made yesterday in the
case of Harry K. Thaw, that the de-
fendant is now in such a state of lunacy
or insanity as to be incapable of under-
standing the proceedings against him or
making his defense. The court was in
session for less than an hour. Mr. Del-
mas, for the defense, stated that their
answer to the District Attorney's propo-
sition was not ready. Justice Fitzerald
allowed both sides until Saturday after-
noon at 2 o'clock to file such affidavits
as they desire with the clerk of the court.
There will be no further hearing in the
matter of the appointment of a lunacy
commission unless Justice Fitzgerald so
directs after considering such affidavits
and exhibits as are to be offered. Neither
the jury nor Thaw was in court today,
the jury having been excused at that
time and a formal adjournment until
Monday morning announced. By Mon-
day Justice Fitzgerald is expected to be
ready to announce his decision.
Jerome Wants Another Throw.
District Attorney Jerome pleaded today
for permission to examine Dr. Allan Mc-
Lane Hamilton orally, but the absence
of a waiver of piofesslon privilege on the
part of the defense Justice Fitzgerald
said he would not allow the doctor to be
examined further at this time. Justice
Fitzgerald added significantly that he
would take judicial notice of everything
which had been adduced In evidence dur-
ing the nine weeks of the trial. Dr. Ham-
ilton, it will l»«' remembered, on yester-
day testified that in his opinion Thaw
is not at present capable of directing his
defense. This question was put t<> Dr.
Hamilton by Attorney Gleason of the de-
fense and Mr. Jerome now contends that
the defense thus waived the matter of
professional privilege.
The refusal «>f Justice Fitzgerald to al-
low Dr. Hamilton to be interrogated in
th<- proceedings to enlighten the con-
science of the court as to its duty in ap-
pointing a commission or ordering a re-
sumption of the trial was interrupted In
various ways by those In court today.
The attaches of the District Attorney's
office were inclined to the, belief that Dr.
Hamilton having already stated his
opinion to Justice Fitzgerald, the latter
deemed it unnecessary to precipitate an
argument as to the waiving of profes-
sional privileges. The defense seemed in-
clined to the view that Justice Fitzgerald
had held Dr. Hamilton's evidence could
not he taken into consideration and con-
sequently the District Attorney's position
was weakened. Dr. Hamilton was first
called into the case by Thaw's lawyers

Daily Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN. Tex., March 21.—'There was|
much discussion in the House and Senate
today, but only a few bills were disposed
of. In the House Senate bills had the
right of way. The Senate bill providing?
for the establishment of a department of
agriculture and a bureau of labor waa
one of the important measures which
the House passed to third reading.
Many members of the Legislature, of-
ficers and employes of the respective)
branches, left tonight on the Junketing
trip to Fort Worth and Gainesville. All
were provided with free transportation
and are counting on having a royal gootj
time.
The announcement in a local newspa-
per today that the "Bailey special train"
would leave Austin at a stated hour
provoked R. M. Brown to rise to a
question of personal privilege soon after
the House convened this morning. He
said he had made all arrangements to go
on the train, but if it was a "Bailey
special" he wouid go on another train.
Judge Brown was in earnest in all ha
said.
Corporations Disturbed.
The corporation Interests are naturally
much disturbed over the administration
tax bills, which are pending before the
Louse Committee on Revenue and Taxa-
tion. It is claimed by the representatives
of some of these concerns that the addi-
tion taxation which these proposed laws
impose would be such a burden to them
as to amount to the confiscation of their
property. Not only are they to be com-
pelled to pay a franchise tax, but they
are also to be taxed on their gross re-
ceipts and intangible assets.
The four administration bills are still
in the han4». of the House Committee on
Revenue and Taxation. A meeting of
the committee was to have been held this
morning, but Chairman A. M. Kennedy
notified the members that ho was Indis-
posed. In deference to him the meeting
was postponed, with no definite time
fixed for holding it.
Reduced Fare Bill Must Walt.
The 2c passenger fare bill is not likely
to be reached in the House for several
days. Tt *s pending business as soon aa
the. platform demands are disposed of,
but It will take probably all of next
week to get through with that, particular
class of legislation.
