SAW GUNS FLASH
OUTSIDE THE WALL
Quartermaster Sergeant Green Also Testified That
He Heard “Mixed Arms Firing” on Night
of Brownsville "Shooting Up”
Quartermaster Sergeant Thomas J.
Green one of the discharged negro
soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry
this morning went on the stand in the
Penrose trial. He testified to being
awake when the shooting started and
saw gun flashes in front of the tele-
graph office and behind the B com-
pany barracks on Fifteenth street. He
told of the gun inspection of D com-
pany and of the check-up of the am-
munition.
There were frequent objections on
the part of the defense to the cross ex-
amination but no executive sessions
of the court followed. The court de-
cided to adjourn the court until Sat-
urday morning if the defense so de-
sired in order to give the witnesses
from Washington a chance to arrive.
But final action in the matter was
postponed until this afternoon.
Captain Hay stated to the court
that there was no order absolutely re-
quiring the members of the court to
wear dress uniform and the court In-
structed him to wire for instructions
on the subject.
Green’s Examination.
Colonel Glenn then began the direct
examination of Green. The witness
stated that he was quartermaster ser-
geant in the Twenty-fifth infantry. He
I served in that Regiment 15 years one
month and 26 days. He was at Fort
Brown at the time of the disturbance.
His company occupied the barracks
nearest the river. This was com-
pany D.
“What did you find in the barracks
when you first entered them?”
’ Some old clothing and empty cart-
ridges.”
The witness testified that on the
night of the shooting he was on the
first floor of the building. He was not
asleep and heard first one shot look-
ed out and saw the flashes of the guns.
He saw three flashes on Elizabeth
street in front of the telegraph office.
He then saw flashes on Fifteenth
street back of B company’s barracks.
“I dressed. Then I heard the call to
arms. I saw Captain Lyon who asked
me who was doing the shooting. I
said I didn’t know. I fell in with my
company. Captain Lyon told me to get
a box of ammunition and open it but
not to issue It until he told me. I
obeyed these orders.”
“What did your company then do?"
"It went on duty along the wall.”
“Was the roll called?”
“Yes sir. Captain Lyon himself
called the roll along the wall. When
we came back from the patrol in tows
we had another roll call and the men
placed their guns in the racks. One
set of keys was kept by the non-com-
missioned officer in charge of quarters
and the other set locked in an arm
chest in the locked store room.”
Inspection Next Morning.
The witness then told of Captain
Lyon's inspection of the arms and am-
munition next morning. The guns
were tested with oiled rags. Captain
Lyon reported to Major Penrose that
all of company D's guns were clean.
"Did all the men of your company
have their allowance of ammunition?
“No sir. Two men didn’t have
I any.’
■ Was there a check up made of your
ammunition on August 14?”
“No. sir. This was done when the
men were discharged. Captain Lyon
i verified the ammunition in the. store
room and it was found correct.
Lieutenant Fitch then took the wit-
: ess. The latter said he was not
able to locate the first shot.
"How many gun flashes did you
see?”
"I saw a number of them. They
were outside the wall.”
“Did vou hear any yelling?”
"No- sir. 1 could have heard yel-
line if it had taken place.”
“What time did call to arms go?”
“When the second shots were fired.
I don’t know exactly how long after
I the first shot.”
••After the company came back
' from the patrol did the men fall out
! at the barracks?"
“No. sir. They fell out at the gate
j and staved there some time.”
"What sort of firing was that
which took place when your company
was going to the wall?”
• Mixed arms firing."
“When you first entered the bar
racks how was the clothing you found
there located?"
•It was scattered on the floor."
Every Round Accounted For
"Was every round accounted for
after the shooting?”
"Yes. sir.”
"Was the first shot you heard like
a rifle or a pistol?”
“I couldn’t tell which it was.”
“About how many men did you
judge to be taking part in the fir-
ing?”
“About 12 or 14.”
1 he witness then told of the inspec
thm of the ammunition and the cross
examination there ended. The court
then asked about the direction of the
gun flashes and the witness said that
thev came from Elizabeth and Fif-
teenth streets. The witness said it
took him three or four minutes to
dress. There could have been shoot-
ing while he was going to the bar-
racks steps and he not hear it.
Lieutenant Fitch then asked the
wfThess if he went to his own quar-
ters to sleep that night after the
company went back to the barraoks.
“Yes. sir.”
“Do vou know where the first ser-
geant ajept?”
“No. sir.”
Colonel Glenn then stated after
a short recess that the defense had
no other' witness to place on the
stand at that time. He stated that he
would have other witnesses by tomor-
row afternoon.
