GETTING RESULTS IN
HAITI INVESTIGATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O-The follow
ing statement on Haiti has bees is
sued by the N. A. A. C. p:
with the appointment of a Naval
Board Of Investigation, consisting of
Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo, and ].
Il. Oliver, U. S. N. Brigadier General
J. II. Pendleton, to investigate the
invasion of Haiti, the charges made
by the Acting Secretary Of the Asso-
citation, Mr.. James Weldon Johnson,
and by Mr.. Herbert J. Soligmann,
both writisg in the Nation, have be-
bun to achieve results.
THE Association is gratified TO an
nounce that its charge that more
than 5000 Haitians were slaughtered
by U S. Marines has been verified by
the report Of Brigadier General Bar
nett, former commandant of the Ma
rine Corps who not only placed the
number of those killed at about $3.50
but referred in his report to the 'in
discriminate killings" which had taken
place. When the National Associa
tion originally made this charge, the
Secretary of Navy abolished it.
AFTER the publication of the Bar
nett report we wired Senator Hard
ing requesting him to reiterate the
charges with all strength at his COM
mand and calling to his attention
the substanhation of our charges in
the Barnett report.
