President Roosevelt thinks it would be a mistake to have Gilchrist Stewart, an African-American lawyer who says he has new evidence in the Brownsville Affair, followed by the Secret Service as Senator Lodge suggests. Roosevelt is concerned that if it is discovered, his political opponents will attack him for it. Roosevelt would prefer to consult with Lodge and the other members of the committee investigating the matter, because congress is already too interested in how he uses the Secret Service.
