The best way to retain this information from the original files is if it is dealt with while converting to ELAN. So, you might send a request to the creators of chat2elan? Converting to uppercase might be an option, but adding an extra tier with annotations containing some code or symbol to mark stress would be more ELAN-like.
If this information cannot be retained and you have to mark stress manually in ELAN again, that would be the preferred way: add a depending tier and create annotations for stress (this might include that you have to create tiers for the word or even lower level first). This may be extra overhead but improves searchability etc.
