His Third Brigade remained massed in Fredericksburg during the night of December 13th-14th. Noticing, also, the denials of General Walker and others that General Humphreys's men approached nearer to the wall than any other troops had reached, Colonel McClellan cites the fact that General Humphreys, who made this statement, was an eye-witness of the scene from his position in front of his division, while on the other hand the officers of the burial-parties sent out a week later (whose evidence has been relied on to support the opposite view) could hardly have identified the men

[See below.] We made unmerciful sport of them, but never a joke or word of abuse did I hear after the 24th had shown its mettle in the battle of Fredericksburg.
