Who beat Sen Charles Sumner with a cane on the Senate Floor?

Preston Brooks beat Sumner after Sumner made a speech in Senate about senators having sex with their slaves ( that's taboo) and called them out by name. Preston Brooks father-in-law was called out and Preston Brooks heard about it and walked from the House of Representatives and into the senate and beat Charles Sumner with his cane and sent him into a coma. No one helped Sumner. Brooks wasn't arrested. As a matter of fact supporters of Brooks sent him more canes to "keep up the good work".
