Earlier this year, more than two dozen firefighters were disciplined for participating in a firehouse beer party in 1990 that was caught on videotape and released to the media seven years later. On the videotape, firefighters guzzle beer, drop their pants and sing a song that includes racial slurs.

Cosgrove declined to say when the suspensions occurred or to name the officers, though sources familiar with the probe and union documents identify them as Kevin Sampson and Kevin O'Grady. Sampson and O'Grady also were named in the EEOC complaint.
