complex analysis - Riemann Zeta Function and Analytic Continuation

The Riemann Zeta Function is defined as $ \displaystyle \zeta(s) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$. It is not absolutely convergent or conditionally convergent for $\text{Re}(s) \leq 1$. Using analytic continuation, one can derive the fact that $\displaystyle \zeta(-s) = -\frac{B_{s+1}}{s+1}$ where $B_{s+1}$ are the Bernoulli numbers. Can one obtain this result without resorting to analytic continuation?
