Mr. Chairman. as that Is -damnable. and I say to the gentleman that -his conduct in regard to the matter is characteristic of the littleness of the man with whom I am dealing. When the gentleman from New York under.took to answer the charges I presented to this House as a reason why it should not make a further appropriation of $125.000 to .continue the life of this Immigration Commission. the gentleman -denounced my author as -a liar and the facts upon which they were predicated as a lie out of the whole cloth. Mr. -Chairman. that was not a :brave act. The gentleman knew that -under the rules of the House the man he denounced as a liar did not have opportunity to reply. did not have opportunity to -defend himself against the charge. nd he knew that under the Constitution he could not -hold him responsible elsewhere for what he said upon this floor.
