COLORED POLICEMAN CALLED UPON TO CURB CONFEDERATE DAUGHTER’S ROW O V E R ELECTION OF OFFICERS Apology Demanded of Washington Police Chief for Send ing Colored Policeman, by Congressman Gasque of South Carolina. (By Crispus Attucks News Service) Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—“I think, to say the least, it is an outrage for a negro policeman to be sent by the city government of Washington to preserve order among a group of southern ladies, especially when there are so many white policemen in the Dis trict of Columbia. Will you please tell me who was responsible for this and why it was done? As a southern man and member of Congress on the Dis trict Committee, I resent this action of the Police Department and respect fully demand an explanation. I also think you should appeal before that body and explain this action or apolo gize for it.” Thus spoke Congressman Gasque of South Carolina, to Major Sullivan on account of sending Pa trolman Braxton (colored) to the United Daughters of the Confederacy Home, 1322 Vermont Avenue, N. W., when a call was sent in to the Second Precinct Station House for police pro tection during a stormy session over the election of the officers for the en suing year. It seems as though Stonewall Jack- son and Robert Lee, could not agree and Thomas Jefferson became a little alarmed at the trend of affairs, when someone called Captain Peck on the phone for an officer. Braxton, a long and faithful trusted arm of the law, was sent as is characteristic of the Metro politan Police Department, regardless of color, especially under the leader ship of Major Sullivan. Before he had a chance to fully realize, what it was all about, Braxton found himself face to face with the stem portraits of Stone wall Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and liam of Chicago and one sister. Miss Emma Lawrence of thisArity. --------o-------- Robert E. Lee, as well as in the mid* of the Daughters of the Confederate gentlemen, who had in years gone by, held the iron hand of ownership, prob ably over his ancestors. Here he was sent to restore peace in a convention of southern white women. "A Perfect Gentleman,” Says Mrs. Odenheimer. So tactful and diplomatic was Of ficer Braxton, that when inquiry was made as to the possible objection of a colored officer being sent, that Mrs. Frank G. Odenheimer, one of the dele gates frankly admitted that “The of ficer behaved like a perfect gentleman, and I respect«!*! his uniform.” Others spoke of how diplomatic he was in leaving immediately when he found that his appearance had restored order, “ ying, “He would remain on the side walk for a time in case he was needed." So thorough had he done his job, that some of the delegates protested and asked that he remain inside, which he refused to do, but did wait on the out side. Commenting on the letter from Congressman Gasque, Major Sullivan said, “The matter was a regular rou tine affair under Captain Peck.” Captain Peck is in charge of the Sec ond Precinct to which Braxton is at tached. When informed of Congress man Gasque's demand of an apology, the captain said, “They called for an officer. I sent them one and I have no apologies to make.” Braxton is hailed as an excellent officer by many of the white people on his beat, which he has been on for some time and inquiry brought out the fact that he is highly respected and liked at the precinct by even his fellow officers.
