PUBLIC SCHOOL REGULAToRs-One Nan
Enthusiastically, as ON previous days,
number Of large sized boys. protesting to
belong to our public schools, started out
with the expressed and understood inten-
tion of regulating matters in sc9oois with
which they were not connected. by regu-
lating' ia meant that they intended to drive
ali colored scholars out OF the buildings and
keen them out. The principal point for
operations yesterday was the Keller and
ST, Andrew schools, the latter located in an
old church at the corner OF 81. Andrew and
Willow streets, about the last building on
that section.
The Keller School is situated at the cor
ner of Magnolia and St. Andrew streets,
next to the III arket. Both these institutions
accommodate boys and girls, and until now
have made satisfactory progress, having
met with no interruption. A few colored
children attended the Keller school. but
until recently there was no difficulty on
that account. The St. Andrew School is
exclusively for colored pupils, with cOlOred
teachers. The white regulators, who made
the raid yesterday. seemed to have been
operating without definite knowledge con-
st. Andrew but on discovering their error,
retired quietly. The lads Of this school
were naturally incensed at such visit, and
no persuasion could prevent them following
the invaders and learning the cause of the
call.
The white boys, on departing, walked
over to the Keller School, only two or three
squares distant. and demanded that all
col0red children leave instanter. By that
time a large number of people had cOngre.
gated and many Of them we're excited. The
market bell was rung a. If the whole city
was on fire, adding fuel to the flame. This
alarm called out the entire neighborhOOd,
but before force had gathered the blacks
had succeeded in driving of the whites, but
TIE latter soon rallied, reinforced, and q
lively fight ensued. Many hard blows were
dealt and some Of the cOmbatants were
bruised. One cOlored man was killed out
right, having received several heavy strokes
from club in the hands of person as yet
unknown. He ran u short distance and
Eugene Ducoslonge, and he had fair rep
utation. After this the belligerents cooled
down somewhat and Dispersed. Who these
regulators are is not definitely known, but
it is asserted that they are from the Central
High School.
High School yesterday morning visited the
Lower Girls High School, saying that they
intended to drive out all colOred girls who
might be there. These boys. unresisted,
walked into the different rooms and made
known their wishes in very determined
fashion. About twenty-five colored girls,
badly frightened, departed without waiting
for further warning.
Delegations of lads, who declared them
selves to be school boys, visited Other
schools but there is no report that they
committed any excuses. They did no,
hesitate in asserting that they intended t.
force colored children from white schools
