The president submitted with his message various exhibits, In cluding maps of Brownsville and Fort Brown, a bandoleer, thirty-three empty shells, seven ball cartridges, picked up in the streets a few hours after the shooting; three steel jacketed bul lets, and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they had been fired. The president declares that the evi dence is positive that the outrages of August 13 were committed by some of the colored troops that have been dis missed and that some or all of the members of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry had knowl edge of the deed and have shielded the guilty ones until the negro troops are referred to by the president in his message as "midnight assassins," and he declares that very few, if any, of the soldiers dismissed 'without hon or" could have been ignorant of what occurred.
