Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IV, § 2. Tits Systems

Let X be a subset of S and N' a subgroup of N whose image in W is equal to W_X. Then, (G_X, B, N', X) is a Tits system.

We have GX=BWXB=BN′BG_X = BW_XB = BN'B, which shows that GXG_X is generated by B∪N′B \cup N'. The verification of the axioms (T1) to (T4) is now immediate.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
