Protests Against Maj. Cox's Remarks,

Protests Against Maj. COx's Remarks.
To the Editor of The Evening Star
wish to inform the public through your
valuable paper that in regard to the committee
that called upon the District Commissioners
Wednesday, August s, for the purpose Of pro-
testing against the brutal treatment Of certain
police officers toward the colored people in
East Washington, Maj. W. C. Cox was only a
member of the committee and was not author
lied to make any such a statement as that pub
hshed in your paper. The colored people of
East Washington are law-abiding citizens, and
when any OF their number is mistreated they
generally protest. Mr.. Daniel Stillyard was
the spokesman of the committee, and he ex-
pressed the full sentiment of the committee
and the colored people of the east. 1 write this
card in Justice to myself and the committee.
