UPHoLDs THE PRESIDENT
But Condemns Using Negroes In
Brownsville Affair for Politics.

New York, Feb. THE Maryland
Society of New York laid its ninth an
nual banquet at Snerry's tonight.
Among the $50 guests present We're
Ex-Judgc Alton B. Parker. who spoke
on the Estate of New York"
Referring to the Brownsville affair
Judge Parker said he believed the
President had the right to discharge
the negroes and was justified in using
that power. He condemned the inter-
ference of the Legislative branch of the
government and attributed its action in
the matter to political motives.
1T is not the first time the politics
have used the negro for their own pur-
poses," said Judge Parker.
"They used them when they saddled
upon those states to the south of Mary
land these people as voters. Every in
telligent man, l think, will admit that
granting the franchise to the negro at
the close of the war was a mistake, as
great a mistake for the negro as for
the white man. The negro was poor
and not fitted to exercise the right OF
franchise. Politicians for their own
selfish purposes told him he was fitted
to rule, to take possession, and many
we'll intentioned njen and women join
cd in the mistake"
