Talked about, but never done in 1905, at which point the KKK didn't even exist. The first incarnation was broken up by the federal government in 1871 and it wouldn't be until 1915 that it formed a second time.
In fact, the first burning of a cross in the US was by William J. Simmons at Stone Mountain, GA November 25, 1915 to inaugurate the Klan's second incarnation.
