THE NEGRO MUST FIGHT,
SAYS A NEGRO LAWYER
J. H. Hayes, of Richmond,
Uses Strong language

mass meeting of colored people was
held last night at Lincoln Memorial
Church under the auspices Of the Afro
American Council for the purpose of dis
eussing the negro question. James H
Hayes, a coIored attorney o. Richmond
Va. delivered the address of the even
ing and discussed particularly the dis
franchisement of the coIored race in
Virginia His remarks were received
with much enthusiasm.
In part Hayes said: There is nothing
in Virginia for the negro but degradation
unless the negroes take firm stand.
contend for their rights and If necessary
die for them 7 am not an anarchist and I
do not mean to go out and kill anybody,
but let somebody else kill you. In Vir-
ginia, you are Jim Crows You open the
meeting here tonight by singing My
Country. 'Tis Of Thee but I wonder how
negroes can sing that song. For myself,
am a man without a country.
The time has come when the negro
must fight, not intellectually nor theo-
reticalIy, but with his hands. I want to
make the assertion that the negroes Of
Virginia will not be disfranchised in this
country nor in any other. It is written in
the stars that the negro Of Virginia does
not intend to submit. It is not the COM
mon niger of the South that is dis
franchised, but the negro who tries to be
a good citizen. Every negro who puts on
a clean collar destroys a vote"

Lee, the Rev. Anderson Taylor, J. W
