Or. Lsidy Recalls Endurance Of ths
coIored Troops In War.
At this period in the life of the ma
ton, when most of the great foreign
powers are fighting one another. much
Is being written and published in praise
of the colored man as a soldier and of
the loyalty of the race generally to the
American flag. The compliment. how
ever, begs the question, says N. B. bod
son. Never since Crispus Attuckx
faced the British soldiers in Boston has
the world doubted the sincerity of the
devotion of the colored race to the
country of its adoption in peace or war.
Therefore the following article by
DR.. G. Fontaine Maury Leidy. Phila-
delphia, which appeared in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger on March 1S is
thrilling as well as interesting. DIR.
Leidy says:
In anticipation OF strife, whether In.
ternal or external. and the spasmodic
cry section IF the country we will re-
vert eventually to the national guard
as the largest organized body especial
ly for home protection. Citizens com
plain that the guard Is not fully enlist
ed. Neither is it.
This city and state have great un.
known power in the Negro and could
enlist with the sound of the bugle a
regiment and more of the finest body
of men that ever wore uniform.
They have the physique and endurance.
This country could enlist half million
Negroes, if not double this number,
and even more. The history of the
civil war tells repeatedly OF the en-
durance of the Negro soldier and more
would have been written had the con-
ditions been different. Many units in
our army today are of foreign birth.
In time of war would it not be natural
to have some fear. If only n passing
thought: But the Negro knows no
country but this. II is his. Never has
history portrayed one not loyal.
The Negro is quick TO learn tactics
and obeys orders implicitly. and no of
fcer could question his loyalty to the
flag Philadelphia should organize i'm
mediately fun regiment OF Negroes.
They should have their armory. They
should bc fully equipped and absorbed
into the national guard of Pennsylva-
mia. To make any distinction would
mean a failure. Every opportunity
should be given 10 enlist.
l recall the parade on Broad street
after the Spanish-American war. There
, was no regiment OF troops who march
ed with exactltude and nicely of pre-
cision that the Negro regiment did.
Now is the time for such IA move to be
made. The time viii come-it may be
