The Boston Branch Of the Equal Rights
LIBERTY League has appealed to the colored
folks of the country to put on silent pa
rades and wear deep mourning for thirty
days in memory Of the thirteen soldiers that
were hung in Fort Sam Houston. to all Of
which the editor Of Cavton's Weekly takes
exceptions. In our opinion it is unpatriotc
for the colored folk of this country to do
either Of those things, for the reason, that
those men admitted that they shot up the
town Of Houston and supposedly took hrl-
man life in so doing Regardless of what
their provocation may have been it is
well known fact that two wrongs never
make right. and they therefore took the
law into their own hands and committed
acts, which the law has said. who commits
such must be hanged until dead. And for
ten million or more people to 90 into mourn
ing for men who wilfully violated the law
and took human life, because. forsooth thew

were but appeasing the prejudices of the

no denying the fact that the soldiers did
contrary to army orders and regulations

TO Kill every white person in sight, which
thine even the. Liberty League itself must
admit was a crime aand if a crime. those
who committed it should be punished. The

wrongs never make a right. Let's act well
our part, just and square, and. as in the
case Of slavery days, the dav will come
sooner or later when the white folks will
come almost in body to our assistance.
we think the hanging Of the colored SOL
o1ers under the circumstances was ridicu-
lously severe, but according to the letter of
the law it was just and fair.
