    The author extends the procedure of summation of finite secant sums developed in his previous paper with \textit{H. M. Srivastava} [Appl. Math. Comput. 190, No. 1, 590--598 (2007; Zbl 1124.65001)] using the contour integration in the complex plane. The finite sums of sines or cosines multiplied by tangents are expressed in terms of higher order Bernoulli polynomials, that is, in fact, in the finite sums of powers of arguments. The proof of the results starts from the particularly adapted choice of integration contour.
