President Roosevelt informs Senator Warren about Colonel Frank Heath’s reports concerning the presence of antimony in bullets manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge company and those recovered from the Brownsville Affair. It is possible all of the company’s bullets used by the army at the time of the shooting may have antimony present. These findings invalidate Senator Joseph Benson Foraker’s argument.
