Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the transcript of a speech delivered in the United States Senate by Senator Joseph B. Foraker in 1906. Senator Foraker spoke out against the treatment of three companies of black soldiers stationed at Brownsville, Texas, who were discharged without honor after being accused of shooting up the town. The accusations were based on flimsy evidence and the soldiers were never given a fair chance to defend themselves. This book serves as a historical document that sheds light on the racism and prejudice that black soldiers faced during that era. The author argues that the soldiers were innocent and that they were unjustly punished. The book also provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the shooting, as well as the aftermath.
