137 Some very important as well as dramatic work was done by the Third Regiment under Colonel Gail- lard. It was chosen by Gen. James H. Wilson to disarm at midnight and place under arrest the mem- bers of the Sixth Virginia Colored Volunteer In- fantry at Macon, Georgia, in 1898. The negro troops were mutinous and on the rampage gener- ally, and proposed to shoot up the town of Macon, somewhat similar in manner to the way the troops of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry shot up Brownsville. Colonel Gai...llard took his regiment out at midnight, surrounded the negro regiment, and took their guns away from them, put the whole regiment under arrest, and kept it there for thirty days without arms of any description. The negro regiment was then mustered out of service. Senator Foraker be- ing engaged on something else at that particular time did not ring the fire alarm, and very little was heard about it, but it was done, and Major Gaillard was the man who did it. After his volunteer regiment was mustered out Major Gaillard was again assigned to the Washing- ton Aqueduct, but was soon appointed Assistant Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia.
