I want to say I have sat in this House here. night after night. when he has outraged the soldiers of the Union over and over again. but this is the first time the gentleman from Virginia has put his hands upon a brave Union soldier who is a constituent of mine. and I will see him in Halifax before I will yield one inch for him to put this amendment upon my bill. Now. Mr. Chairman. I want to say to this House that this young German. although at the time he was not a naturalized citizen. stood in the forefront of the battle for three and a half long years. and at Kenesaw Mountain received a gunshot wound in his head. He was away on furlough. and while so away was arrested by a patrol guard in the city of Harrisburg.
