Disgusting Brownsville Incidents Described Before Military Court. Washington, January 6.?Soldiers tending a bar in the uniform of the United States army and playing monte and poker for heavy stakes, was described before a military court of inquiry investigating the Brownsville raid, as the state of affairs just preceding that event. Former Private John Holloman, the banker, speculator, money lender, saloonist, and recognized powerful man among the Brownsville colored troops, said he opened a saloon just outside, the fort when the people ot Brownville refused to let colored soldiers "drink like white folks." He denied he organized the party of soldiers which shot up the town. He and others attended the bar in uniform when off duty. Poker and dice games were operated in the same building. Holloman charged his fellow soldiers twenty-five per cent, interest per month, 75 per cent, of the batalion, including many non-commissioned officers were his debtors. Back of Prohibition Broken.
