Madden. through sense of fair-play
INSISTED that certain correspondence he
J; Scott, Secretary Treasurer, Howard
University, together with other letters
ana newspaper reports which clearly
ana definitely controVerted the charges
made against Colored troops should
be entered In the Congressional Record
as OFFSET to the propaganda which
mas been under way for some months
TO discredit not only the record of
Colored American troops abroad but
the record Of French colonial troops
IN the occupied area as well.
Dr. Scott assembled a formidable ar
ray of documents to controvert this
German propaganda in America in
Guiding letter written by Ambassa-
dor Jsserand of the, French Republic
to Mr.. Henry II. Baker of the How
ard Park Citizens Association, Wash
ington, ID. c., in which NJ. Jusserand
states that the allegations constantly
and persistently spread by German
troops. are absolutely unfounded; that
their behavior does not Justify in the
least the scurrilous accusations freely
launched against them in sheets sent
here from Germany, ready printed
and in enormous quantities, for dis
tribution all over the country. The
correspondence also contained clip
pings from the New York Times. the
Washington Post, Associated Press dis
patches, and correspondence between
Senator Selden p. Spencer of Missouri,
and former Secretary of State Colby.
Under all the circumstances" DIR.
Scott said in his letter to Congress
man Madden, ut must be. clearly evil
dent that a grave injustice has been
done these French Colonial troops,
who fought so bravely against the
Teutonc enemies during the world
conflict. Their services were then re-
garded at face value. They helped TO
save the precious jewel of liberty for
all the world. They proved to be
troops not afraid of Germany's best
and most seasoned veterans. 1T seems
cumstanCes not to have in the Con-
gressiOnal Record the above state
ments, which correct the very unfair
to use no more vigorous language
propaganda which has been circulated
against them in this country. / refer
to the matter as a Colored American,
because propaganda reflections of
the same character were quite gen
orally circulated about COlOred Ameri-
can troops who served in FRANCE. The
libels in that case were finally and
effectively disposed of, as they have
been in the case mentioned above"
Congressman Madden has again won
the wholesouled approval of Colored
Americans for his courageous action
in combating prejudice against our
C0lored troops. His remarks have been
reprinted in pamphlet form and are
being very widely distributed.
