ASK FOR REMOVALS.
AfrO-Americans Petition Against
Army Officers and Others.


Army Officers and Others.
At meeting held last night at the
Southern Hotel, between Sd and AZ streets
on Pennsylvania avenue a resolution was
adopted requesting the President to vacate
the commission of Col. E. L. Higgins, Sth
Volunteer Infantry, on the ground that he
is inimical to colored officers and is trying
by unfair and questionable methods to
force such colored officers out of his regi-
ment.
1t was also decided to include Mr. Claude
NJ. johnson, director of the bureau of en-
craving and printing, and Mr.. Francis w.
Ford, appointment clerk in the War De-
partment, as persons who discriminate
against colored men and who ought to be
removed from office.
The gathering was in the nature of a
called meeting of the steering committee
of the Afro-American council, attended by
other prominent leaders of the race. The
proceedings were entirely secret, it being
decided not to give out anything for pub
