TO PRESS MHR OF NEGRO SOEDIERS IN THE SOUTH

HmtAXfDS REMOVAL, OF 24TH INFANTRY FROM GEORGIA CAMP WASHINGTON, D. C., July 23rd— fHpririall—A letter addressed to SnMdeDt Coolldge was made public •F th* National Association tor the ApAraacement of Colored People, 69 MftA Avenue today, in which the Sbaaident is urged “first, that such Mkaps as are possible be taken by you Ibatoring adequate punishment of Ful£nght. and, second, that the 24th Infcstrj be removed from Georgia to |hk»ore civilized community where defasncy and justice are more prevalent Ifc&n appears to be the case at Ameri|Wa, Georgia." The Advancement Association made lEmin requests upon publication of an IWtSele fn The Nation of July 14th, Written by Captain Elbridge Colby, White who is stationed at Fort Benfcd&Q. Georgia. The Asociation’s letter to F^psident Cpolidge cites ‘-that % SBltphPiber 1st of last year a white jafhm jm ft night watchman passed IfeCMtgh the IViagro section of Amerihis wtiCe and child. None them-ware molested or accosted in «»j fashion, but this night watchman At the name of E. J. Fulbright, withcauae kicked Private Smith, known W*. ane the best behaved and best pressed men in the 24th Infantry. BeJteffe any threats or hostile gestures hf«re made Fulbright drew his repatrer and killed Private Smith In

cold blood.” The letter further points out altho Fulbright was indicted, charged with murder, he was not kept in jail. Three months later he was given a farcical trial at which inrelevant and prejudicial matter was injected Into the case by the defense attorneys with the result tha. Fulbright was ac-

quitted.

The Advancement Association’s letter to the President ended In these

words:

-‘The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People submits a query to you as Commander-in Cliief of the Army and Navy if the uniform of the United States Army is of any avail in protecting a soldier of the United States if that soldier’s skin is black and he happens to be in Georgia. We are convinced we are making over statement when we assert that such an outrageous tragedy can do nothing but deepen the despair of colored citizens when such a situation is revealed. “We are taking the liberty of requesting. first, that such step as are possible be taken by you to effect adequate punishment of Fulbright and, second, that the 24th Infantry be removed from Georgia to a more civilized community where decency and justice are more prevalent than appears to be the case at Americus, Georgia. This ill treatment of men of the 24th Infantry is not a new matter. As far back as 1922 an investi-

gator from this Association, a former Army Officer, found that upon being sent to Americus practically every soldier of the 1st and 2nd Battlalion of the 24th Infantry was disarmed; the 3rd Battalion having never been armed since being sent to Georgia in December, 1921. Our investigator also learned that the Commanding Officer, Colonel Kicklin. had stated in hla first address to thfi men of the 24th Infantry that they would be called 'damned niggers’ by the white soldiers as a matter of habit but that they should not resent It. Colonel Nlcklin also in the same address told these soldiers that they must remember that they were Negroes in Georgia and that they need not exp«-ct to be treated as they were accustomed to being treated at other posts at which they had been stationed. These matters were brought to the attention of the late John W. Weeks, then Secretary of War. and there was some amelioration of the situation but mot»t of the conditions, all of which are not detailed above, hare continued to this day. The 24th Infantry has had a long and honorable record and a continuation of such ill-treatment may, wo

(By Th* Associated Negro Pr**«*> PHILAL>kL.PHIA. Pa. July 23rd - Th*> National Association of Negro Musicians. Inc., with a membership of over two-thoosacd. which includes nearly all the mor* prominent musicians of tho race, will hold its session in the City of Brotherly Love beginning July 25th. continuing throughout tho week.

A MIAN COMPLIMENT TO courage and devotion TO DUTY. ' By m.,,y On Friday, last, a bullet from the gun of a misguided youth, untimely snatched away the life of a promising, courteous and universally liked police officer. This officer died with his boots on and in the line of duty. He displayed the characteristics of coolness and courage common * to great heroes of all times. He went to his last resting place with a consciousness of duty well done and of a trust well kept. This Indeed is a fitting climax to the life of any one. Among the pleasant memories clinging to his sad and premature departure is the glowing tribute paid him by his Chief. Following closely upon the - heals of this tribute, it was painfully shocking to note that The Indianapolis News of Saturday, July 10th, 1926. heralded abroad that this young ebonyhued hero’s funeral would be Monday at 1 P. M. "The burial will be in the colored part of Crown Hill Cemetery," pnd "Coflyades M his race oH the police force will a<’t as Buchanan's pallbearers." The Sunday Star marie the same announcement, in substance. This was the unkinde*t cut and meanest, complement of them all. Theemly enlightening thing about it is that the Colored people of Iiullunap**lis are finally informed that there is a colored part of Crown Hill Cemetery. It must be extremely consoling to this hero's dull, cold ear in death, to know that two daily paper* in his home town boldly announced that the Jini-tTow s- ctlon of t’r-.wn Hill would bo his last resting plaoTo the living it is at bast so..thing to refleet upon th- fact that: "The boast of H-raldr). thpomp of Pow'r.
