Negro Troops Barred.
Congress is pretty well worked up
over an incident that is reported con-
corning some negro troops who were
travelling by train from Montgomery,
Alabama, to Pittsburgh. According
to reports they boarded the train at
6:45 p. m. on April 80, and at o'clock
the following morning the train
stopped at Bowling Green, Kentucky,
where a large group of white SOL
diers went into the station dining
room for breakfast. The negroes,
upon being refused service in the sta
ton dining room, asked for sand
witches and coffee to be taken out
side but were also refused. The boys
had the same bad luck during the
day when they were refused admis-
sion to the dining car and it was
not until the train arrived in Gin
cinnati that they were able to get
something to eat after % hours of
fasting.
