W. S. Black*hear of St. Ma thew’s, Brooklyn, Say« It Is a Matter of “Policy” Rector Denies Racial Bias—Asserts Negro Congregations Near By Need Them Denying that racial prejudice was the reason for his announcement on j Sunday that his church “did not want 'negroes’ money or negro members,” ! the Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear, rector j of St. Matthew’s Protestant Episcopal ' Church, McDonough Street and [ Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, said, in an interview yesterday, that his 'action was dictated by “church policy.” “There are two other Episcopal I churches for negroes in the neigh borhood,” he said, which negroes should attend. These churches need [ negro members. St. Matthew’s is a 'white church and it is desirable that only white persons should attend its 1 services. We have a few negro mem bers, however, who may remain, if they wish.” ./ I At/the service on Sunday the Rev. i Mr. Blackshear read the following iparagi'aph from the church bulletin: | “The Episcopal Church provides 'churches for negroes. Several of | these churches are within easy reach of this locality. They are in need of the loyal support of all true negro 'churchmen, therefore the rector of this parish discourages the atten dance or membership in this church of the members of that race.” | There were four negroes at the ' service. A young negro woman rose and, with tears in her eyes, left the church. The other negroes sat silent ly with bowed heads. Several white members of the congregation audibly displayed their astonishment at the announcement. I The Kev. L. (J. uade, rector oi St. Barnabas’ Protestant Episcopal Church, Belmont Avenue and Fulton Street, one of the two Episcopal churches for negroes in the neighbor hood, evidenced no surprise last night when informed of the Rev. Mr. Blackshear’s announcement. “Mr. Blackshear,” he said, “has indicated his attitude toward the colored churchman on previous occasions. I do not care to make a direct criticism of his action without giving further thought to the matter. I will say, however, that I believe churches should be open to and free for all people and races, just as Jesus Christ loved all races and showed prejudice to none.” Although the Rev. Mr. Blackshear said that his policy in barring ne groes has been endorsed by the ves try of the church, Howard D. Joost, senior warden, when asked his opin ion of the matter, said: “I would rather not express an opinion.” No statement on the subject could be obtained from Bishop Ernest M, Stires, w’ho is out of town. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear was in stalled as rector of St. Matthew’s Church on June 23, 1929. A dissen sion in the congregation, which caused a number of the members to withdraw, was provoked by the ques tion of his succeeding the Rev. Dr. Fredic W. Norris, the retired pas tor. It was then alleged that a com mittee of three out of twelve vestry men and tw'o wardens drew’ up the* contract and obtained the Rev. Mr.! Blackshear. j He was born in Anderson County, Texas, in 1893, the son of a Southern • cotton planter. He studied theology at the Virginia Theological Seminary. As captain of Compay H, 360th In fantry, he participated in the St. Mihiel drive and was cited for con spicuous bravery.
