node.js express app can't find jade view, 404 message responded

for my app i use node.js as backend and Express as framework. I use Netbeans as IDE and i get the following output.

Not Found
404

I have the following data setup:

- node-modules
- public
    - fonts
    - images
    - javascripts 
    - stylesheets
        stylesheets.less
        stylesheet.css
    - routes
        index.js
        news.js
        users.js
    - views
        index.jade
        error.jade
        news.jade
        layout.jade
    Gruntfile.js
    app.js
    gulpfile.js
    package.json

the app.js looks like this

var news  = require('./routes/news');
var index = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
...
app.use('/', index);
app.use('/index', index);
app.use('/news', news);
app.use('/users', users);

and this is my index.jade

h3 
  a(href="news") link

and this my news.jade

h3 test

.

The routing is realised over route files. index.js

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('index');
});

router.get('/index', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('index');
});
module.exports = router;

the news.js router file is

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

/* GET home page. */
router.get('news', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('news');
});
module.exports = router;

The following circumstances are

Your code works for me.

/app.js

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var index = require('./routes/index');
var news  = require('./routes/news');
var users = require('./routes/users');

var app = express();

// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');

// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

app.use('/', index);
app.use('/users', users);
app.use('/news', news);

// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});

// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  // set locals, only providing error in development
  res.locals.message = err.message;
  res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};

  // render the error page
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error');
});

module.exports = app;

/routes/news.js

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
    res.render('news');
});
module.exports = router;

The news route file is missing. There you have to render your jade.

var news  = require('./routes/news');
