The Washington Post OF Sep
TENDER 18th publishes an interview
with DR.. Ramsey, one OF the ply
sicians who went to Memphis with
the corps of Washington nurses, in
which he states he has been au-
thentically informed that white
women had to take negro men for
nurses or, go without, and that the
negro men nurses had taken ad-
vantage of their helpless white vic
Tins. Mr.. Keating, editor of the
Memphis Appeal, having had his
attention called to the statement,
pronounced it utterly untrue, and
adds: .'No man, white or black.
would be allowed to breathe a Sec
ond breath after such crime be.
came known. o such crime has
been committed, and white women
have not been reduced to the ne.
cessity of taking negro men fol-
nurses. The statement is libe
upon the negroes of Memphis Al
honor to them! They have done
their duty. They have acted bv VI
nobly, as policemen and soldiers
as well as nurses. They have re
sponded to every call made upor
them quite as promptly as TIM
whites. A few of them threatened
trouble at one time about food, bu
they were at the time suppressed
by Il company of soldiers of thei
own color. The colored people o
Memphis, as body, deserve wei
of their white fellow-citizens, anC
we appreciate and are proud o
them"
