NAVY DEPARTMENT
WONT PUNISH MEN
NORFOLK. VA., Aug 1*.—Rear
Admiral William Alexander Marshall,
commanding the Norfolk navy yard,
has forwarded to the Navy Depart
ment a report on the race disturbances
In this city July 4. following the Jef
frles-Johnaon fight.
The report gives the names of 10 or
12 sailors who were arrested and pun
ished In the city courts as the result
of the rioting. The police show that
the one marine arrested that day had
no connection with the race troubles,
In which only bluejackets were In
volved.
It had been alleged that United
States marines and sailors made un
provoked attacks upon negroes. Pub
lication of this report brought forth a
protest from W. H. Ellis, of 29 Wall
street. New York, In communications
to both the White House and the Navy
Department, and the suggestion that
marines who attacked negroes without
provocation deserved punishment just
as severe as that given to negro troops
for assaults on white citizens In the
Brownsville (Texas) affray
The Navy Department will rest con
tent with the punishment accorded the
ten or twelve sailors who were ar
rested and punished In the city courts
of Norfolk, for participation with the
race troubles on July 4, following the
Jeffries-Johnson fight. This decision
was reached yesterday by Si ting Sec
retary Wlnthrop when he received the
report of Rear Admiral Marshall
The report showed that no marines
had participated in the fight, their
only relation to the disorder being
their attempt, together with some
bluejackets, to quell the trouble which
had arisen between other blnejacketr
and negroes.
