DENIED SICK LEAVE PAY
Refute to Admit Thel Were Sick While!
WASHINGTON, March 21. The
Senate Committee on Military "Affairs
which has been Investigating the af
fair at Brownsville, Texas, In which
the negro troops are charged with
having shot up the town, was droning
along the other day listening to wit
nesses and hearing a techincal de
scription of the bullets' found in the
street, when Senator Scott, of West
Virglnj. who tyad been reading a
paper, looked up drearily and said,
"better hurry along with those bul
lets. We may need them in this war
with Japan the papers are trying to
get up."
"Do you think they will shoot that
far?" asked Senator Bulkeley, of Con
necticut "Whether they will or not," retorted
Senator Foraker with some warmth,
"if ever we have a war with Japan
or anybody else, we will need the ne
gro troops, and the treatmnt accorded
those men at Brownsville Is not en
couraging to negroes who would like
to serve their country."
There has not been an opportunity

il Jof the second floor of the big building
in the end occupied by the Secretary
and his three assistants there are
enough colored messengers' to form u
good sized meeting. For months It
been the habit of these messengers
to gather during the day and relate
to each other he good time they had
the night before and Indulge In rem
tnescertces of various sorts. There
never did appear to be any good reason
for this numerous' contingent of mes
sengers unless it was to make an as
sault on the bi-monthly pay-roll.
All this has changed. These mes
sengers no longer lounge about the
corridors. They have nil unexpected
ly found there Is something for them
to do and they seem to be able to do
It. Mr. Cortelyou also stopped the
habit of officials having their shoe
shined by the messenger during office
hours. When the Secretary wants
his shoes polished he goes outside or
has a boot-black from the streets do
it, and pays the usual charge. There
is one messenger who having been a
barber In his day has been in the habit
of shaving clerks and cutting hair.
This practice has also become a thing
of the past. There will be no more
barber shops in any part of the Treas
ur, Mr. Cortelyou does not permit
any of the messengers to do work at
his residence after office hours unless
they are paid for it. It has long been
