After a resolution in 1912 introduced by Congressman Charles Lindbergh Sr. (the aviator's father) for a probe on Wall Street power, Congress formed a subcommittee
of the House Committee on Banking and Currency led by Congressman Arsθne Pujo of Louisiana [1861-1939] to investigate the so-called 'money trust', a community of
Wall Street bankers and financiers that exerted powerful control over the nation's finances. Banker J.P. Morgan [1837-1913] was among those called to testify.
The committee's findings, over 1,000 pages released in 1913-1914, inspired public support for ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment that authorized a federal
income tax, passage of the Federal Reserve Act, and passage of the Clayton Antitrust Act.
full text of the committee report online at the St. Louis Fed

Wall Street quickly published the text of J.P. Morgan's Congressional testimony, calling it "The Justification of Wall Street".
