Brownsville Affair
: ''This event should not be confused with the Brownsville Raid of 1859.''
The Brownsville Affair, or the Brownsville Raid, was a racial incident that arose out of tensions between black soldiers and white citizens in Brownsville, Texas, in 1906. When a white bartender was killed and a police officer wounded by gunshot, townspeople accused the members of the 25th Infantry Regiment, a unit of Buffalo Soldiers stationed at nearby Fort Brown. Although commanders said the soldiers had been in the barracks all night, evidence was planted against them.
As a result of a United States Army Inspector General's investigation, President Theodore Roosevelt ordered the dishonorable discharge of 167 soldiers of the 25th Infantry Regiment, costing them pensions and preventing them from serving in civil service jobs. A renewed investigation in the early 1970s exonerated the discharged black troops. The government pardoned them and restored their records to show honorable discharges but did not provide retroactive compensation.
== Background ==

Since arriving at Fort Brown on July 28, 1906, the black soldiers had been required to follow the ''legal'' ''color line mandate'' from white citizens of Brownsville, which included, among separate accommodations for black and white, also showing respect for white people as well as respect for local laws. A fight broke out between a black soldier and a local Brownsville night watchman in which the night watchman wound up being shot to death - in what appeared to have been a deliberate ambush. Apparently the black soldier, who was said to have had an altercation with the white male a couple years back, went to town looking to provoke an incident with the night watchman and thereby gun him down (black soldiers at that time were forbidden to carry weapons into the town). The ambush killing happened at a brothel where other black soldiers were also present. When word of the killing spread around town, and times being what they were, a large mob of armed whites immediately began to form. The black soldiers, while fleeing the scene were chased and shot at by the white mob. It escalated from there. In the end three people lay dead: one black soldier and two white males. The city of Brownsville barred members of the 25th Infantry from setting foot in the city again.〔
