A Mass Mecting Discusses the Kecent Shoot- ing of Charles Lomax. A COMMITTEE TO ASK FIG DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO WAVE AN INVESTIGATION BY TNE GRAND JURY— A CITIZENS’ PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION stO- OESTED—SOME PLAIN SPEAKING. Last night the leeture room of the Metropol- itan Beptist Church, on R street, was crowded from the door to the pulpit with men and women who had gathered in response to a call for a macs meeting to discuss the circumstances at- tending the killing of Charles Lomax by Po- liceman Mellen in Howardtown a week ago. The mecting was opened with prayer by the Rev. R. 8. Laws of Pittsburg. Rev. Robert Johnson, pastor of the church, presided, and in calling the meeting to order he said thutt the blood of one of their number bad been spilled and he wanted tho matter dis ¢fing in his church. He thought the matter to be discussed wae as to where and under what circumstances the shooting was committed. It is claimed, he said, that Mr. Lomax wus not justly killed. ‘The le, he said, are not a 0 churches asleep. ve cleared out thia part of the city,” hesaid, “not ‘Hell's Bottom, but “Parudisé Hill.’ Tho people who are calling it ‘Hell’ Bottom’ are twenty years behind the time. ‘The chairman said he had read the printed accounts of the shooting and all ho lind to say wae that if there was any one who would come forward and say that there ic a hole in the house made by the bullet from Lomax’ pistol he would say that the officer was right. REY. DR. LER'Y REMARKS. Rev. Dr. Lee of the Fifth Beptist Church wns the first speaker, and he said that the lim- ited time would not permit him to makea specch. In ten minutor, he waid, he could not ve expression tu his thoughts.’ He said that this community ought to be the place where Boman should be known by his color and where justice should reign supreme. Un- fortunately, he said, such is not the case. Tie- ferring to the shooting the speaker outlined the citcumstauces as heretofore printed and suid that from a personal inspection of the property he thought that the weapon was a scif-cocker and the policeman had his finger on the frig- SE. , luside the house, he waid, he found where ood stains on the floor had been covered with ashes. Referring to the statement that Lomax fired a shot he said that Lomax could not have tired at the officer, for the bullet would either have struck the ofticer or entered the wall. ‘The whole truth,hg said,was that an officer had been shot and the policeman started in pursuit of the crowd. He followed Lomax and entered the house, supposing he was pur- suing the man who had fired the shot. Upon entering the house, so the officer says, he be- gen firing. After giving in de‘ail the circum- stauces of the shooting he referred to the kill- ing of a policeman several years ago, when, he said, the officer was killed as a fool. A MANIA FoR NEGRO BLooD. “Bravery without prudence,” he quoted, “is madness.” In that case, he said, the man ran toa room and gave warning that he would kill any man who entered. The officer entered and was killed. Keferring to the officcr in the case under discussion he said he seemed to have a mania for negro blood. If his record had been good it would have been different, but his record, the minister said, was not good. An officer, he said, should not be a brute anda lion, but he should be a man deserving of re- spect and then every good citizen would re- spect and assist him. “The speaker said that in his investigation he saw no trace of a bullet from Lomax istol, and de- nounced the beating of the man after the pistol had done its work. He said he oval had been the largest \d:children, and negro children at that, is considered a big officer in this city, while in othercitics the man est arrests and has the quict- ext beat is considered the best officer. ‘ihese remarks, he said, do not apply to ali the cers, as some of them are good men. The min- ister suid that Officer Mellen was a coward and ought to be removed from the force and per- mitted to drive acoulcart. He said some one had intimated that this meeting would stir up things and put many of the ofiicers’ lives in iy, but that is not so. ¢ are all willing to help e guod man when he makes an arrest, only we want the man to be an officer and not a coward.” He suggested that a committee hoapecinney to wait upon the Commissioners and ask for the officer's removal. “Do not ask for his transfer,” he said.“*but ask for his removal, because I’ do not believe in turning mad dog from your own yard and putting him on your neighbor.” ‘MR. MILTON HOLLAND'S INVESTIGATION. Mr. Milton M. Holland was next introduced, and he told of having made a personal investi- gation of the affair. He referred to the arrest of Solomon Page for merely talking to the officers and said that when Page's wife, who isin a delicate condition came up, she too was placed under arrest and dragged. along the street Like adog. Then ft was, he eaid, that George Pag the woman's son, came up and fired, as any noble boy would have done. “When the Page boy comes back and surrenders,” he said, “I for one will help to defend him.” ‘The speaker then condemned the action of the officer in killing Lomax and said he would not admit that Lomax had fired at the officer. ‘They were in close quarters and if the pistol had'been discharged it would at least have burned the officer's coat. ‘Nobody was there,”” he said, “except the policeman who killed Lomax, and why is it not possible for the o cer to have fired the pistc! after he took it out Of the house?” Speaking of the verdict of the coroner's jury he said he was told by a member of the jury that he did not sign such a verdict He said that when the case was under discussion the question was asked if the fact that Lomax had & pistol in his hand did not justify the officer. coroner said “yes.” In ¢ said the coroner was mistaken. ‘Mr. Holland suggested that something must be done besides meeting here and speaking. Something, he said, must be done toward having the rights of the colored people more respected, He thought acommittee should bo appointed to wait on District Attorney Cole and have him present the case tothe grand jury Another committee, he said, should wait upcn Congress and ask for the repeal of the army and navy clause governing police appointments, so that native-born citizens can be made guardians of the peace instead of so many people who are strangers in this community as well as in the country, and then lots of this brutality wi cease, LAWYER HEWLETT'S VIEW? Lawyer E. M. Hewlett was the next speaker introduced and he began his remarks by saying that a good law-abiding citizen bad been foully murdered. He referred to two other instances in which policemen used personal violence toward colored people. In dpe case, be said, Policeman Sanford shot « colored man for nothing und he was fined $25 by Judge Miller. Mr. Hewlett scid be called the attention of the Commissioners to the case and their response was: “This is not x case for judicial investi- gation.” In the other case, be said, Police. man Cooney assaulted a respectable colored woman—a member of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church—and he, too, was fined €25 by Judge Milter. s often said," Mr. Hewlett continued, “that the colored people coustitute the erimi nal class, but from persoual observation 1 say that of every ninety-nine persons arrested seventy-five of them should never have been arcested. In conclusion ho said that when an officer is right it is the duty of the citizens to assist him, and when he is wrong they will condemn him. ' There is no use iu asking for the removal of the Officer, but have bim arrested and then there Will be nu necessity for bis remo’ COL. PERRY CARSON'S PROTEST. ‘The next pervou introduced was Cole erry and ko said ho was presens to enter his protest ogainst the killing of Lomax. He said Ts ago, when there were bad policemen on their beats, and he had seen one sueb officer taken off his beat, but he was never brought to trial. He cited other similar inci- dents and told of respect. the audience would not permit an officer to enter his kill bis son and walk EVENING. 8T committee of the chair to wait upon the trict attorney and urge him ing of Mr. Loma dnvestigated by the grand jury, farther, tt tle chair appoint a committee of twenty-five citizens, whose duty it shall be to organize a citizens’ protective association.
