The Man who Said Ii.

Z.
A REMARK WHICH HAS CAUSED A NUMBER OF DE-
NIALs-wHERE THE CoLoRED SOLDIERS WE'RE
BURIED.
The evening before Decoration day, while a
STAR reporter was conversing With Commander
Graham, of Morton Post, No. 4, about the ceremo-
nes to be held over the graves Of colored soldiers
at Arlington, Mr. Graham, in reply to an inquiry
from the reporter as to where the coored soldiers
were buried, said, with tone of some bitterness
at what he evidently considered a discrimination
against his race, "down among the teamsters" {"
The reporter, in writing an account Of the ser
vices, repeated the remark as coming from the
commander OF a colOred post Commander Mills
OF Post No. o. fastened to declare publicly that he
had not made the remark. Mr.. F. C. Revells. to
Wnom IL appears some have attributed the re-
mark, has written letter to THE STAR, saying:
my attention has been called to q paragraph in
The STAR OF Friday last, In which 1t is stated
Is but one post numbered In this department,
and that Is Charles Sumner, of which Comrade
William II. Mills Is commander. l am not now
nor was ever, commander OF any G. A. r. post.
1t Is true, however, that I am the only one who
spoke over the graves OF the coIOred soldiers at
Arlington on the 3Oth OF May; but do most en-
phatically deny that said then, or at any other
time, that the colored soldiers were buried among
the teamsters, or that used any language that
could be so construed"
In reference to the proceedings at the graves OF
the colored soldiers, published in THE STAR of
last Friday. "Comrade Revells OF Post No. g." ap-
peared through an inadvertence as commander
Revells, OF Post No. o. which error furnished the
only warrant for attributIng the remark to him.
