We were always careful that no cruelties were committed by enlisted men, but whatever was done was by the order of an officer.
In view of all the facts, I must doubt the sincerity of those who are seeking to bring discredit upon our little Army, the marvellous efficiency of which has won the admiration of the world.
I must say this is the first time I ever heard of national honor being sustained by such methods.
It is upheld and maintained today, as it always has been, by the patriotism of our people as represented by our Army in the Civil War, in Cuba, the Philippines, and China.
