Louis Edelman admires Theodore Roosevelt. However, he disagrees with his treatment of the soldiers at Brownsville, Texas. He discussed the matter with Senator Joseph B. Foraker, who visited him while in the hospital and always agreed with him. However, Edelman was recently talking about Roosevelt with a “very honorable colored physician” who is adamant about the soldiers’ guilt, supposedly having heard it from several of them.
