I NAACP Investigator at Fort
Bragg Finds White MP's Ready
To Use 10 Authority Quickly

Fayetteville n. C.-Complet-
ing his investigation of the
shooting of Private Allen Tur-
man and a white military police
man near TT. Bragg, Curtiss
Todd of the NAACP legal staff,
reported that it is not definite
ly known who fired the first
shot, but the fact remains that
the white military police had the
guns"
Reports of the fighting and
subsequent shooting vary in
detail, but most are agreed that
the trouble started among the
soldiers on the segregated bus.
White military police were Gale,
to quell the trouble. The white
MPs proceeded to beat the Ne
groes with clubs. Truman grab
bed a gun, fired killing Sergeant
Elwyn l.. Hargrave and wound
in several others and was in
tur shot and killed by Sergeant
Russell Owen.
Mr.. Todd reported that Major
Del1aven HinkSon of the medic
al corps of the 10th (Negro)
regiment was Of the opinion
that the MP entered the bus
shooting and that Truman was
shot while he was on the floor
by someone on the outside of
the bus, or by someone over him.
The NAACP attorney report
ed that there is definite racial
element in this affair.
Commenting on his findings,
Mr.. Todd said, 1.-The young, in
experienced white military police
are Bubbling over with ".45"
authority just waiting for an
opportunity to use it. Every
Negro it appears, is subject for
abuse on the slightest provoca
ton.
There are no provisions at
the post for recreation, for Ne
lgroes in which women NAV
participate" 6
He also said he learned from
one of the interviewees for a
hostess job at Fort Bragg that
the women were without ex-
lception called by their first
names by Captain Dennis II.
Holiday, morale officer. and that
this information shows the at
titude of some of the officers
toward Negroes.

NAACP ASKS FOR PROBE
OF FIT. BRAGG SHOOTING

NEW YORK. = Fearing that
the court martial of the military
policeman who shot and Killed
Private Allen thurman on a bus
near Fort Bragg, August 6,
would whitewash the affair, the
NAACP asked President Roose-
welt and Secretary of War Slim
son last Wednesday for prece-
dent breaking Investigations.
In a long telegram to Secre-
tary Stimson, the NAACP de-
clared that the Fort Bragg
shooting demands more than Il
traditional customary action Of
the War Department, and urged
that all responsible officers there
from camp commandant down
to all military police involved in
the affair and events following
it, be called up for trial. The
NAACP cited the stories in the
New York newspaper PM about
the affair.
The NAACP stated that the
Board of Inquiry should in
clude at least one Negro officer.
1t was urged that publicity be
given the proceedings and re-
suits of the inquiry so that
the public will know the facts.
The telegram concluded by
stating: Negroes everywhere
have right to demand that if
the army will not protect the
rights and lives of all Negro
soldiers in uniform in the South,
then the army should remove
these troops to other areas where
their rights can be protected"
In the letter to President
Roosevelt Wednesday, August
13, the NAACP asked for Il
civilian-military Board of In
quiry to be named by the Presi-
dent and to include Negro
member which would review
the Fort Bragg case and the
entire matter of the treatment
of Negro soldiers by white mill.
Itary policemen in the South.
Although the army has no
precedent for such a board the
lNAACP cited the establishment
of the Committee on Fair En-
| ployment Practices which re-
cognized the needs of special
and independent machiery to
assure Negroes their rights
under national defense.
The NAACP also sent last
week letters to the country's
leading Negro editors asking
them to dispatch kilograms i'm
mediately to the War Depart
ment backing up the request for
a complete investigation of the
Fort Bragg and other Southern
camp military police. The letter
stressed the need for unity
among Nego Americans if fair
treatment of colored troops is
ever to be attained.
