Polytechnicien (1866), \u00e9l\u00e8ve \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9cole d\u2019application de l\u2019artillerie et du g\u00e9nie (1868), lieutenant en 1870, capitaine en 1874, de Br\u00e9on \u00e9tait chef d\u2019escadron depuis 1888.
Juge au proc\u00e8s de Rennes<\/a> \u2013 qui peut-\u00eatre avait song\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9missioner pour ne pas \u00eatre juge (lettre de\u00a0Victor Basch<\/a>\u00a0\u00e0\u00a0Joseph Reinach<\/a>\u00a0du 30 juin 1899 dans Basch,\u00a0Le Deuxi\u00e8me Proc\u00e8s Dreyfus. Rennes dans la tourmente. Correspondances<\/em>, Paris, Berg international, 2003, p. 81) \u2013, fut attaqu\u00e9 par la presse dreyfusarde<\/a> qui craignait le parti-pris de ce souscripteur du monument Henry<\/a> (3e<\/sup> liste). Mais ce fervent catholique, \u00ab r\u00e9actionnaire \u00e0 tout crin mais […] parfait honn\u00eate homme \u00bb (lettre de\u00a0Victor Basch\u00a0\u00e0\u00a0Joseph Reinach du 22 juillet 1899 dans ibid.<\/i>, p. 111), qui allait prier entre chaque suspension d\u2019audiences, votera, avec Jouaust<\/a>, l\u2019acquittement de Dreyfus<\/a>. Le 30 octobre 1899, Raoul Allier<\/a>, dans Le Si\u00e8cle, <\/em>lui rendra un vibrant hommage :<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Ouvrez \u00e0 la page 2 le livre de M.\u2008Pierre Quillard<\/a> [Le Monument Henry<\/em>].\u2008Le second nom qu\u2019on y lit est celui-ci : commandant Br\u00e9on. Je ne sais rien de plus tragique que la rencontre de ce nom dans ce document.\u2008Ainsi, il \u00e9tait r\u00e9serv\u00e9 \u00e0 un des souscripteurs des listes inf\u00e2mes de si\u00e9ger parmi les juges de Dreyfus. Il a si\u00e9g\u00e9.\u2008Il a d\u00e9pouill\u00e9 les documents qui lui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis. Il a entendu les accusations hautaines, fielleuses, sans preuves, des ennemis de l\u2019accus\u00e9.\u2008Il a vu le martyr, il a \u00e9cout\u00e9 ses protestations d\u2019innocence, il a devin\u00e9 le forfait commis contre ce camarade.\u2008Il a fr\u00e9mi d\u2019horreur devant la seule pens\u00e9e de cette d\u00e9couverte.\u2008En t\u00e2tonnant, l\u2019angoisse au c\u0153ur, il a essay\u00e9 de se reconna\u00eetre dans ce drame.\u2008Il aurait voulu trouver les preuves de cette culpabilit\u00e9 proclam\u00e9e par les grands chefs. Il ne les a pas trouv\u00e9es et il a eu le courage de dire : \u00ab Dreyfus est innocent \u00bb. Par son seul resplendissement, la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 a vaincu cette \u00e2me d\u2019homme.
Si le nom de Dreyfus est d\u00e9sormais un symbole, celui du commandant de Br\u00e9on doit en devenir un \u00e0 son tour. Ce qu\u2019il repr\u00e9sente, c\u2019est l\u2019esp\u00e9rance ind\u00e9fectible qui, dans les jours les plus sombres, c\u2019est la confiance dans la force de l\u2019esprit libre ; c\u2019est le r\u00eave l\u00e9gitime, obligatoire, le r\u00eave qui se r\u00e9alisera, t\u00f4t ou tard, d\u2019une France r\u00e9concili\u00e9e par la seule V\u00e9rit\u00e9 \u00bb (\u00ab Les Listes rouges \u00bb<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Mis en quarantaine apr\u00e8s ce vote (\u00ab En quarantaine \u00bb, La Patrie<\/em>, 31 octobre 1899<\/a>), il fut attaqu\u00e9 par la presse nationaliste. La Libre Parole<\/em><\/a>, toujours inventive, trouva ainsi l’explication de ce vote auquel elle n’avait longtemps pas voulu croire \u2013 n\u00e9cessairement \u00ab la piti\u00e9 fort respectable du catholique [avait \u00e9t\u00e9] prim\u00e9e par l’indignation salutaire d’un officier, fils d’officier, contre la horde d’exotiques lanc\u00e9e \u00e0 l’assaut de la France sous le commandement de Dreyfus (Jean Drault<\/a>, \u00ab L’arm\u00e9e de Cond\u00e9 \u00bb, 11 septembre 1899<\/a>). Si de Br\u00e9on avait vot\u00e9 l’acquittement, c’est parce que son fr\u00e8re<\/a>, \u00ab cur\u00e9 d’une importante paroisse \u00e0 Paris \u00bb, lui avait fait part du march\u00e9 que le gouvernement lui avait mis en mains : \u00ab J’ai la promesse d\u2019un agent de M. Waldeck-Rousseau que si tu acquittes Dreyfus, mon \u00e9glise \u00e9vitera le sort de l\u2019\u00e9glise Saint-Joseph<\/a>, qui attend plusieurs autres \u00e9glises catholiques \u00bb (Jean Drault, \u00ab Jouaust et de Br\u00e9on \u00bb, 31 octobre 1899)… une invention qu’Henri de Br\u00e9on d\u00e9mentira (\u00ab Correspondance \u00bb, La Libre Parole<\/em>, 1er<\/sup> novembre<\/a>).
Toute la presse antidreyfusarde ne fut pourtant pas sur ce registre, et il faut citer l’exemple du Patriote Breton <\/em>qui, le 3 novembre 1899, rendit hommage \u00e0 sa conduite : \u00ab celle d\u2019un bon et loyal officier : il a c\u00e9d\u00e9 aux instances de sa concience.\u2008Il a fait son devoir.\u2008Il a bien fait.\u2008Son vote, loin de le d\u00e9consid\u00e9rer \u2013 bien que malheureux \u2013 l\u2019exalte et l\u2019honore \u00bb (L.\u2008D., \u00ab Jouaust et de Br\u00e9on \u00bb).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n
