Preston Brooks, of South Carolina. Its little understood today that there was a meaning to the method of Brook's assault. Brooks beat Sumner with a cane.

By simply attacking and beating him he was saying that Sumner was not a gentleman, and did not deserve the respect one should accord a gentleman.
