In the article, Chapman said Brady had deep ties to some of the dirtiest communities in Tulsa and America. He reported that Brady, along with the then Tulsa Police Chief, secretly led the “Tulsa Outrage,” leading his vigilante group, the Knights of Liberty, in the kidnapping and torture of seventeen union organizers on November 9, 1917. This event prompted the Tulsa Daily World to acknowledge the birth of the “Modern Ku Klux Klan” in a headline published the next day.
He also revealed Brady's connections to Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921which was a two-day white supremacist terrorist attack on the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, which was one of the wealthiest black communities in America at the time. The attack led to from fifty to 300 deaths and thousands of hospitalizations, as well as the destruction of more than a thousand businesses and homes.
Chapman's research found that Brady volunteered to work as a night watchman on the night of the attack, and also revealed that Brady was later appointed to the Tulsa Real Estate Exchange Commission, which relocated black residents from the area. Chapman also said Brady made a significant profit from purchasing property damaged after the attack.
