That is all the Negro asks-that is all the friends of law and order need to ask, for once the law of the land is supreme, no individual who commits crime will escape punishment.
Individual Negroes commit crimes the same as do white men, but that the Negro race is peculiarly given to a.s.sault upon women, is a falsehood of the deepest dye. The tables given above show that the Negro who is saucy to white men is lynched as well as the Negro who is charged with a.s.sault upon women. Less than one-sixth of the lynchings last year, 1899, were charged with rape.
The Negro points to his record during the war in reb.u.t.tal of this false slander. When the white women and children of the South had no protector save only these Negroes, not one instance is known where the trust was betrayed. It is remarkably strange that the Negro had more respect for womanhood with the white men of the South hundreds of miles away, than they have today, when surrounded by those who take their lives with impunity and burn and torture, even worse than the "unspeakable Turk."
Again, the white women of the North came South years ago, threaded the forests, visited the cabins, taught the schools and a.s.sociated only with the Negroes whom they came to teach, and had no protectors near at hand. They had no charge or complaint to make of the danger to themselves after a.s.sociation with this cla.s.s of human beings. Not once has the country been shocked by such recitals from them as come from the women who are surrounded by their husbands, brothers, lovers and friends. If the Negro's nature is b.e.s.t.i.a.l, it certainly should have proved itself in one of these two instances. The Negro asks only justice and an impartial consideration of these facts.
