Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fightin Tom Sweeny
That would be Thomas William Sweeny (note spelling; YouTube has it wrong) (click for the article at Wikipedia).

There is a 9-page article about him in The Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume 2 (Boston: American-Irish Historical Society, 1899), page 193ff.
