The general orders of Gen. Sher-
burn, commanding the 167th Artil-
lery Brigade 1.-THE artillery of the 92nd
Division), brand your editorial and
its supporting Col. Greer's letter as
false. The testimony of Gen. Bar
mum, commanding the 183rd Brigade,
92nd Division, brands it as false. The
final general order of Gen. Ballous,
commanding the 92nd Division, gives
the lie to your editorial; the cabled
information to the War Department
from Gen. ershing in August, 1918,
brands it az false. The fact that of
the only three American regiments
whose colors were decorated with
the Croix de Guerre were colored
regiments-369th, 37Oth and 37lst,
brands your editorial and Col.
Greer's supporting letter as false.
Unfortunately, for you, only few
days after your pamphlet, styled
"Harvey's Weekly was issued, the
War Department gave out report
of an investigating board eXoner-
atiag the 368th Regiment of the
92nd Division, of alleged cowardiee,

fieient to give it place in history
as a fighting unit, and to long re-
main green in memory after Harvey's
Weekly and its assumed silent con-
tributing editor, Col. Greer have been
forgotten.
The public will prefer to accept
the testimony of war correspondents
who were at the front, and of COM

Greer, have no particular reason to
defame brave black soldiers-those
