equal rights closed in their face. The
Negroes of the State were taxed to
support the National Guard, but they
had no representation in the State
Militia. | said that was not giving
them square deal; that they should
not BE taxed to support the National
Guard unless they were represented
i'll the National Guard So when they
appealed to me for justice wrote
on the law books OF New York the
bill to recruit and muster in Negro
Regiment, and when it was mustered
in l declared it had to be oficered by
colored men from the Colonel down
to the last Corporal. l signed and
wrote that bill on the Statute books
in the face Of tremendous white op-
position. Even my staff threatened
to resign. But l signed the BILL and
it is the law Of New York.
AIT this point a citizen in the audi
ence arose and shouted above the
tumultous applause: You're a second
Lincoln Where upon greater APP
plause burst forth.
The Governor continued:
when l signed the bill l said the
Negro Regiment must be mustered
in as the Fifteenth New York Infantry,
and must be a Negro Regiment from
the Colonel down, and that no white
officer should be appointed in it to
any position, because 20 my personal
knowledge there were enough Negro
soldiers in the state-very efficient,
and very competent, and very exper-
fenced Negro soldiers-to officer the
Regiment from top to bottom, and
command it all along the line.
This Fifteenth New York Negro
Regiment was one Of the first units
Of our National Guard to be mustered
into the World War, by the Federal
Government, as the 369th United
States Infantry. For reasons which
have never been satisfactorily explained
about half Of the officers were then
shifted from black to white-an in
justice to the Negro soldiers and off

from that day to this.
This Negro Regiment was one Of
the first from America on the fields
Of France; was on the firing line from
the time We got there until it led
the allied forces into Metz the day
the Armistice was signed; helped to
win the Argonne; and the Meuse;
and Chateau Thierry; was in more en-
gagements than any other regiment
from our State; lost more in killed
and wounded; and for bravery and
gallantry covered itself all over with
eternal glory.

The great audience went wild with
enthusiasm, and shouted and clapped
approval, again and again, as the elo-
quent Ex-Governor, made his telling
points. Such a greeting as he received
was never witnessed before. No man
in the history Of Harlem ever got
such reception as the Negroes gave
Mr.. Sulzer.
Rev. John R. White, Of Wilberforce
University, who is now Pastor Of the
Universal Church, presided, and in
troduced Mr.. Sulzer with a glowing
tribute.

Mr.. Sulzer said in part:

mote their welfare will always be

more good laws on our statute books,

Let me on this occasion briefly refer
to three Of these laws because they
relate in a general way, to you and
your descendants.
First the Civil Rights Law-which
makes it a crime in New York to dis
crininate against a person on account
Of his race or his religion. New York
is the only state in the Union that has
such a law. Every state ought to
have il, and will have it some day.
