The evidence for JJ Thomson was that the plum pudding model could not predict why atoms absorbed and emitted spectral lines.
He described the atom as a sea of positive charge sprinkled with electrons

The Nobel Prize in Physics 1937 was awarded jointly to Clinton Joseph Davisson and George Paget Thomson for their experimental discovery of the diffraction of electrons by crystals
a cathode ray
Cathode rays are negatively-charged particles.

j.j. Thomson
J.J. Thomson is credited with discovering electrons in 1897 through his cathode ray tube experiments. Thomson's work paved the way for the understanding of atomic structure and the development of the atomic model.
Thomson was experimenting with currents of electricity inside empty glass tubes.
