An Earnest Inquiry
BY E. w. CarrngtOn to the of Assault by Black
Men of the United States upon White Women
The Query Answered by Miss Burroughs in
"YOice of The Negro" of Atlanta.

committing outrages upon white
or black women? Is it because no
such outrages are committed? Not
a bit of it. White men in the
United States were the first to be-
gin the business of outraging wo-
men. They have outraged more
women of both races than Negroes
will ever outrage. 1t was alright
until the men of another race be-
gan to make inroads upon their
women, and then no law on the
statute book afforded punishment
sufficiently severe and they begun
the enforcement of an unwritten
and unknown law to punish Ne
groes only. Now why do we not
"learn or hear" of outrages by
white men? The reasons are OBJ
vious. The fact that there was
punishment by law, long before
the Negro begun his base opera
tions, proves that the white man
was at it. Not the absence of the
crime but the concealment of it
has protected him from public
notice.
Lynch him, burn him, and tell
the world what brute he is" was
the command given as soon as the
Negro begun committing the sin.
But over the white mans sin. is
thrown the mantle of charity. For
what? To conceal Anglo-Saxon
vice and keep that race on the
throne of virtue. To publish such
crimes perpetuated by them upon
their own women would deprive
their women of that protection of
which the Anglo Saxon delights
to boast and in which he wants his
women to feel secure. The crime
is not absent. Go. to the court
records. Let the thousands of
white women whose mouths are
shut by pride, speak out. When
such crime is brought to the notice
of the court, public knowledge of
it is absent because the criminal is
protected by law and not bounded
by law of civilized savages and
swung up, riddled with bullets,
tarred and feathered and burned
to crisp. Such methods of pun
ishment as are used upon the Ne
gro would certainly furnish inter
esting reading matter for civilized
people, and so the papers publish
the news. Another reason we
''learn and hear" of such crimes in
the United States when committed
by Negroes, and the motive for
publication is to continue to mould
public sentiment against him. The
people of this country have been
hunting about for the past twenty
years for the most dangerous evil
dence against the Negro to prove
to the world that he is brute, and

Mr.. II. w. CarrlnSton, In me
October number of The Voice of
the Negro, makes can Earnest In
quiry' as to the cause of assault
by black men of the United States
upon white women. After assur-
ing us that he is well posted on
the current history of the Negroes
of the United States and the West
Indies for the past forty-three
years, he swings out on this ques-
ton, "Why is it we do not LEARN
OF HEAR of outrages committed by
I.the Negroes of the West Indies
&pon the white women there?" He
says the opportunity exists"
In the first place, because we do
not LEARN OR HEAR" of the crime
is no evidence that it is not COM
mitted. There are many heinous
crimes committed in the West In
dies and in the United States of
which we de not ''HEAR." Is there
any law in the West Indies for the
punishment of such crime? If so,
how long has it existed? What
provoked it? Why the law if no
such crime was ever committed?
Mr.. Darlington leaves us to sur
mise that he is not just clear as to
the absence of the crime when he
tasks, "Why is it that we do not
f'HEAR' of it?" The reason we do
not 'hear" of such crimes in the
West Indies is because of the
method of punishment. He tells
bus that the Negro there sis pro-
jected by law and absolutely free
from mob violence, it matters not
what the crime may be. That IS
just why we do not "HEAR" of the
crime. The Negro in the United
States who commits such an out
race is not protected by law and
he is open to mob violence. The
method of punishment in the Is
land shield the criminal while the
reign of lynch law in the United
States is wholly responsible for
the publicity of the outrages. The
method of dealing with the Grimm
al and nothing more.
Stop lynching and you will sell
dom ''hear" of such outrages in
the United States. Let the peo-
pie of the West Indies go into the
1lynching business and you will
f'learn or hear" of similar offenses
committed by Negro men of the
West Indies upon white women.
There is no other civilized nation
4 in the world except in the United
$tates, practicing lynching, and
no other race except the Negro,
being lynched. The exception of
itself would give publicity to the
act Mr.. Darlington might ask,
why is it we do not ''hear" of the

In this connection 1t might be said Of
the late Anthony Kelly: his generosity
to the church was ever in evidence and
when the debt was being paid he con-
tributed $1,500.00, or one-fourth the
amount due on the church. Father
Byrne went back to seminary work,
and Rev. J. J. Keane took charge Of
the parish. Father Keane was priest
of striking personality and bright INTEL
lect. A profound scholar and orator,
he soon attracted public attention and
became one Of the city's leading men.
Father Keane was pastor from 1892
to 1902. During that period he made
much needed improvements in the
church and parish house. He devoted
q great deal Of time to the schools
that flourish in the parish, and always
urged the necessity Of Catholic educa-

who assumed charge in 1851. He was
afFrenchman and remained four years.
He was. succeeded in 1855 by Father
Fayoile. his college associate. He COM
menced the erection Of the old stone
church which eight years ago was re-
newed and renovated, both inside and
outside. The next pastor was Father
John McDermott, who arrived in 1850
and officiated until 1866. He completed
the building started by hts predecessor,
besides erecting parochial school, the
Arst in the city. He was succeeded by
Father Tissot, a native Of France. who
had spent eight years as missionary
In the southern part Of the state. He
built the pastors residence, enlarged
the school SO as to accommodate be-
tween three and four hundred pupils,
and was assiduous in the promotion OF
religion and education. For twenty
two years-from 1866 to 1sss-Father
Tissot acted as pastor Of St Anthony

age. he resigned the pastorate and re-.
sired to the Dominican convent in this
city. There he remained until God
called him to better world.
L. The present pastor. Father James

College. Dublin, in 1882. for the Ameri-

In 1885 he became assistant to Father
