Negro Enlisted Men Oannot
Become Naval Officers
(Continued from Page 1)
napolis, Md. of Midshipman James
Lee Johnson, appointee of Congress
man Arthur W. Mitchell (Dem.,
Illinois). Dismissed for “deficiency
in his studies,” it was pointed out
here that if Midshipmen Johnson
had graduated from Annapolis, he
would hive boen made an officer
and placed in command over white
sailors.
Results Would Be the
Same with Negroes
Th£ signature of the Bureau of
ficial voting the letter to Mr. Owen
was Undetcipherable, but, drawing
a comjparison between the Filipino”
and Negroes, this statement wa”
made: “There is no rea”on to be
lieve that such an experiment with
men of the colored raoe would pro
duce any different results. Experi
ence of many year” in the Navy has
shown clearly that of the colored
race, if enlisted in any other than
the Messman branch, and promoted
to the position of petty officer,
cannot maintain discipline,” The
writer, however, does not give th^
basis for tbia statement or ”tate
where, when or how, experiments
with Negro officers were conducted.
The Bureau letter also explained
that men who enlist in the navy are
not assigned to any particular ship
but are required to ”erve wherever
needed, and that for this reason
no provision can be made for any
particular ship to be manned en
tirely by Negro bailors. The com
munication has caused widespread
comment here and in other coast
cities because of the proximity of
the naval ba”e at San Diego and
because young Negroes do not seek
tho navy as a career, knowing the
many restriction” that would be im
posed against them.
