want to go home now" the Rev.
James David Brooks told the conven-
ton of the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association last week in New
York, says the New York World.
"You brought us over; be manly and
Let us go back" Brooks said
AS one man the crowd rose to their
feet and cheered madly for five min
utes, waving their green, black and
red banners the while. Were here,
the Rev. Brooks went on, because
we've all been treated wrongly, and
we're tired of it. The white race is
tired of us and no one should seek to
stop u.s."

ness for which it was called. The
