Modify your code as follows 

public FileStreamResult GetPDF()
{
     FileStream fs = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(@"~/File/SegmentAdd.txt"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
     return File(fs, "text/plain");
}

Actually the content type of .txt file is

text/plain

I hope this will help you

UPDATE

Inorder to know the content type of each file types Please refer MIME Type list
