Washington, D. C. Dec. 16.—The
Brownsville affair was discussed in
the senate today by Senator Lodge,
member of the commltte on military
affairs which investigated the charges
that the soldiers of the Twenty-Fifth
regiment "shot up” the town of
Brownsville. Senator Lodge remark
ed that he would make no reference
to the report of investigation re
ferred to by the president in a recent
message to congress. The galleries
were filled, many negroes being pres
ent.
Senator Lodge said he had come to
the conclusion the shooting was done
by soldiers of the Twenty-Fifth in
fantry, and that there was no evi
dence against anybody else; that the
bullets were used
in

rifles, and he spoke of the testimony
of the stoldiers as constituting "a
uniform denial”,1 the uniformity of
which rendered it of doubtful value
to him.
He said the self-selected
champions of the soldiers sought not
for equality before the law, but for
special treatment for the Browns
ville soldiers on the ground of race,
and declared they were not entitled
to any different treatment than that
white men were entitled to under the
same circumstances.
Senator Ixidge favored the War
ner bill which allows the president
