Brooklyn Negro Minister Says His People Should
 Fight for Their Rights

New York, March 14.-Emp1oyment of the torch and bullet by, the negro to defend his rights and to stop the lynching of blacks by white men has been openly recommended in ser mon by Rev F. M. Jacobs in an Afri- can M. F. church of Brooklyn. He said the negroes of Springfield, O., where black man was dragged from jail and strangled to death by mob should carry on a war of reprisal and ''burn their enemies out of business .'' The sermon created a marked sensa- tion.
 "You should contend unto death for your rights asserted the Rev Jacobs. No race has ever won anything with out the shedding of blood. If wars are good for nations they are good for races. Bishop Brown of the Methodist Episcopal church says that race war is inevitable in this country, and the negro will be exter- minated. This is not true, for the negro is no coward; he will fight and in a war between the races he will give as good an account of himself as he did at Fort Wagner and before Petersburg. They tell us to pray, but we have been praying and praying, and Low is the time for the negro to assert his manhood,
 ''The day is coming, the hour Is approaching, when this must be done, for no race under the sun ever got its liberty without fighting for it. There must be some sacrifices of life, if need be, to obtain the liberties of people. The negro is no coward, and Germany and England know it from their African experiences. b
 Many of our lives are to be sacrific- ed if we attain manhood in the coup try. I love to tell you to pray, but all prayers and no fighting will do no
 good"
 Colored preachers in other churches urged their auditors to so conduct 1 themselves as to win friends for their race.
