THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW IREFORE. hut I bet that you knew them all the time: That in Philadelphia, a Negro, Harry Carpenter, was held for treason, because he told another Negro, an army sergeant: “That this was a white man’s war, and it’s no d.. .n good.” The case was dismissed, because the charge wasn’t properly made teven the powers that he, can and do make mistakes). SEDITION should have been the charge and not TREASON.
AND THAT NEGRO SOLDIERS have a fighting tradition: Negro soldiers have fought ably in every war since the Revolution and under all the great generals. And that a Negro, Crispus Attucks, was the first American to fall under British fire in the Boston Massacre ot 1770, and they fought beside the Minutemen at Bunker Hill and the Continentals at Red Bank. N. J. where General George Washington singled them out for praise;that when Andrew Jackson stopped the British invaders at New Orleans in 1915, a battalion of Negro soldiers formed part of his front line.

AND THAT. IN SPITE of tin* reluctance of President Lincoln in permitting the forming of Negro troops during the Civil War. it was the Negro troops who turned the tide of the battle for the North. To the whites, then, as now. the Negro is a problem chili YOU CAN’T DO WITH HIM and YOU CAN’T DO WITHOUT HIM. During those trying times, there was one smart Negro, by the name of Frederick Bailey Douglas, who asked: “Why are the Negro soldiers paid less than the white soldiers” PRESIDENT LINCOLN replied “Negroes should be glad that they could serve at all. for they had more to fight for than any white man.” AND THAT ISN’T the onlv disparaging remark about Negroes that the immortal Lincoln (who is played up so big around election tunes, by the less thinking, or should I say, the less informed) Negroes then, as now were just issue. Later, the great Lincoln had to admit that “Without them (the Negroes) the present nor any coming administration could have saved the Union.” in the State ot Mississippi alone more Negroes enlisted to fight for the Union than white men did for the Confederacy. Negro cavalrymen chased Indians tinoughout the West, also rescued the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill.

IN WORLD WAR I. more than 200.000 Negro troops went to Fiance (I was one of them, have Discharge Papers to prove it) and the most outstanding one of those hoys was Private Henry Johnson of Albany. X. V.. who got in battle with 24 Germans in a No Man’s Lind outpost, and all that he did not kill he brought them in as prisoners. The French called it “The Battle of Henry Johnson.” THE RECORD OF NEGROES has already been extended in WoMd War fl. At Pearl Harbor. Decemhor i. PHI. by Messman Doric Miller. He was awarded the Navy ( ross a short time ago (over the objection of Secretary of War.
