HOLDS MEETING AND INVESTIGATES ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF POLICE The N. A. A. C. P. Forum held its usual interesting meeting Sunday afternoon with Amos S. Scruggs, vice president in the chair. An interesting discussion on some local conditions occupied the session. More close touch with the schools attended by their children was urged upon parents. Attention was called to the alleged brutality practiced by police officers on John Aytch in placing him under a/rest against which Commissioner Ure had lodged complaint. A com mittee was appointed by the associa tion to investigate this matter and approval of Mr. Ure’s action was en thusiastically expressed. Owing to the fact that everyone is urged to the public Roosevelt Me morial meeting to be held in the Au ditorium next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock no meeting of the forum will be held. The committee consisting of Amos P. Scruggs, Mrs. James G. Jewell, Mrs. Jessie Hale Moss and the Rev. j Messrs, G. G. Logan and W. C. Wil liams appointed to investigate the mistreatment of John Aytich by po lice officers visited the police authori ties Monday morning and were ac corded courteous treatment. Superin | tendent Ringer assured them that the matter would be sifted to the bottom and that such discipline as the facts justified would be administered. Aytich, who was accused of steal- i ing electric light globes, was arrest- i ed by Detectives J. H. Graham and Fred Franks at Eighteenth and Web- : ster Friday night. Commissioner lire who witnessed the arrest saw them beating and kicking the prisoner, who is small of stature, and went to the police station and filed a protest. The detectives are threatened with dis-! missal.

TELLS OF NEGRO TROOPS As Fighting Forces They Proved Their Worth Often—Col. Franklin Denison Tells a Large Gathering of Their Race of the Fighting in France—Big Convention Hall Meet ing. Kansas City. Mo., Feb. 7.—In Con vention Hall eight thousand Negroes of Kansas City celebrated the three hundredth anniversary of the landing in Virginia of the first Negroes to be brought to America. The meeting was presided over by Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago, head of the African Meth odist Episcopal church in the Fifth district. The arena was lined with exhibits of Negro handiwork, ranging from hand painted china, lent by the do mestic art department of Western University, Quindaro, to the exhibit of the Gray Printing company, a Kan sas side Negro concern, which spe cializes in work in foreign languages. A parade, giving in pageant form the history' of the Negro race from 1619 to the present was a part of the pro gram. Col. Franklin Denison, ranking Ne gro officer in the United States army, told the history of his regiment, the 370th infantry, from its organization as the 8th Illinois infantry, through its weeks of training at Houston, Tex., and during its long period of service in France. The 370th infantry is the only regiment in the army of the country to be filled and officered en tirely with Negroes. “This is the proudest statement any Negro can make,” Colonel Denison said, “and the truest—never yet has there been a traitor in a black skin. Our regiment was sent for training to Houston, and intense prejudice was aroused by that action of the war de partment. We had conquered that prejudice before we had been there three weks, entirely by reason of our flawless conduct.” Music was furnished by the chorus of Western University, to which school the box office receipts were given.
