Mrs. Dunbar spoke briefly

we women are doing our share

who amounts to anything is
proud of his vote, proud OF

an excellent thing. No man

the privilege. The women are
asking for it. No one asks for
a thing without looking into
it. The women are studying

MANLY MEN IN THE 25TH
INFANTRY PROTEST
AGAINST RACE INSULTS

Schoheld Barrack. Homo
lulu, H. I. The soldiers of
the 25th Infantry, United
States Army, stationed at this
point, will not stand for the
presentation Of any play or
picture film in the barracks S
amusement hall which reflects
upon the Negro race. This
was shown on the night of
June s when a picture play
called James Kirby was put
upon the screen.
Advertised as one of the
best pictures ever on the IS
land, the play drew a large
audience of officers and en-
listed men. But with the
flashing of the first scene
trouble began. The film was
staged in the south and the
theme harked back to slavery
days. 1t showed the young
Negro girls being handled by
the slave owners and traders,
and when the soldiers saw
that tn e house was thrown in
an uproar. From every sec
ton came the cry, Cut it
OUT
There are several officers
in the regiment who do not
share in the southerners pref
udice against the Negro, and
they showed their objections
to the photo play By leaving
the hall as soon as the char
acter Of the picture was dis
covered. Their leaving was
taken as a cue and half of
the audience filed out also.
AS soon as the men reached
the outside the rocks began
to fly. The roof Of the hall
was bombarded to such an ex-
tent that the officers had to
order the stopping OF the play.
This is the third incident of
the kind in the past six
months.
Recently local show came
out to the barracksfrom Hon.
olulu and put on play called
Down in Dixie" Only the
most strenuous efforts on the
part of the officers prevented
a riot and the mobbing of the
players. The actors were
glad to get back to Honolulu.
The men have let it be
known to the officers on a
number of occasions that
while amusementsa are desired,
nothing will be tolerated that
reflects in the slightest degree
on the Negro race. Some of
the officers make the claim
that the trouble is caused by
some of the recruits, but this
is not borne out by the facts

fantry resents such pictures
