About the coiored cadets ut West Point, I
nm tcld Of an Incident slearly illustrating their
position. II wsll ~ ,haehar1c.er Of the Sos
retAry OF War. It comes from ous of the col
orcd cadsts himself.
When Gsne1al Bellnsp WAS 1t tho Point, he
walked up to thu room Of. thess two cadets
with General Pitcher, the ComnandAnt, and
asked tbs boys how they wsrs doug, and il
they had fair play. They both replied that
they h2d fair play. Not coutont with this, he
requested General Pitcher to stand ontnide,
and eat down alone with tile two colored boys.
Now" he said, II want to ask you again
il you hare had fair p14y. II there il any
preference or prejudice you can tell me about
it frankly, and will SEQ that ii ia corrected at
once."
Ono Of tho boys spoke up and aAid th4t he
had had an equal chance, and was pezfectlJ
satistled.
"Well," saia the othor, 81 have had presly
fair ply. IT. hard piacs here"
"bo you have any worse time than tho
other new boyD?"
"No; except that they call u niggers."
"Do they cal you 'niggers to your face, Of
