A report to General Funston by Colonel M F Waltz concludes the provost guard fired only after all attempts to quell a brawl between white and negro soldiers failed. Sergeant Wharton ordered firing after stones were thrown, with two guardsmen hit. One wounded negro, Sergeant Blue, did not resist. Brigadier General Hill will investigate names and court-martial possible.
