You overrided the button's default border. You should set a compound border using the existing one and a new red one.

Border innerBorder = button.getBorder();
Border outerBorder = new LineBorder(Color.RED, 1);
button.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(outerBorder, innerBorder));


Here is a one liner combined with using the BorderFactory :-)

button.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
    BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.RED, 1),
    button.getBorder()));
