Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VI, § 1. Root systems

Let β∈B(C)\beta \in B(C). The reflection sβs_\beta permutes the positive roots not proportional to β\beta.

We reduce immediately to the case in which R is reduced. In that case, our assertion follows from (ii) and the fact that Tsβ=sβT_{s_\beta} = s_\beta.

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