Was there a scandal around Theodore Roosevelt?
Theodore Roosevelt was strikingly scandal-free. The only tarnish on his record was the manner in which he handled the Brownsville Affair, a scandal in which a black army unit was framed for a shooting spree that left one dead in Brownsville Texas. Roosevelt dishonorably discharged the unit immediately, but later information emerged to indicate that the unit was not involved in the shooting at all; Roosevelt refused to reinstate the soldiers unless they could prove they were not in Brownsville at the time of the shooting. It was not until the Richard Nixon administration that the soldiers were given honorable discharges - there was only one member of the unit still alive by then.

What is brownsville known for?
In Brownsville, Texas in approx. 1905, a regiment of African American soldiers were accused and convicted of inciting a riot and killing at least one person. This incident was called the Brownsville Incident or the Brownsville Massacre. Some people were wounded and damage was done to buildings. A horse was also killed, and many people were terrorized. The conviction of the soldiers was a disgrace to the nation, as they were completely innocent and had conducted themselves with great honor and restraint. The soldiers were drummed out of the army, which meant that they could not collect a pension. Theodore Roosevelt showed extreme bias during this time, and later referred to it as his "biggest mistake." In reality, a group of racially biased townspeople who wanted the soldiers to leave the area created the incident, using the soldiers' spent bullets from target practice as "evidence" against them.
