The Long Night continues with the Brownsville Affair: Gun fire erupts in the town of Brownsville, texas, killing a bartender and wounding a police officer, both of European heritage.  Town residents blame members of the racially segregated African-American 25th Infantry Regiment of the Army of the United states for the shooting, even though they had been barred from entering Brownsville on account of their African heritage.

       Postscript: The 167 members of the 25th AAIR were ordered to divulge the names of those involved in the shooting.  But all most vociferously denied any knowledge of the incident.  Commander-in-Chief Theodore “Robber Baron” Roosevelt ordered the entire regiment dishonorably discharged for their “conspiracy of silence.”  But the news was withheld until after the mid-term Congressional elections two months later, as it was feared the news would jeopardize the black Republican vote.  In 1972, de facto Commander-in-Chief Nixon, Esq., issued a full pardon to all 167, after a subsequent investigation exonerated the entire regiment of any wrongdoing.
