point I am making is that it is not a
settled historical fact that Virginia
or any other southern state origina-
Edltar ted lynching as it is commonly
known at this time.
(Congressman C. II. Brand, of
the ninth Georgia district, in discus
sing the Dyer anti-lynching bill in
the house.)
“I can understand why a member
of congress who is not a lawyer
may get his consent to vote for this
unsalled-for and vicious legislation,
but for a lawyer to do so means one
of two things; First, that he has
little regard for the oath he took
when he somonily swore that he
would support the constitution of
the United State*; or second, that
his study of law and the constitution
and particularly his investigation of
the decisions of the courts upon the
question involved, has been in vain.
“Lynching by hanging or killing
people without legal trial did not
originate in the south. The disting
uished gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Burton) in a well-prepared speech,
though 1 disagree with his legal con
clusions, in coting history only
partly, impliedly, if not in express
terms, charge the state of Virginia
with being the author of lynching.
Mis historical refeercnce was to the
law administered by Charles Lynch,
a Virginia planter. During the n-
reer of this man and ms neTgnn<»rs t
Robert Adams and Thomas Calla-
Thc mode of inflicting punishment
way, not a human being was killed,
was short of death.
“Different writers have attempt
ed to trace the orign of lynching to
Ireland England, South Carolina,
Pennsylvania and Virginia. The
“As I stated on the floor the other
day in a brief colloquy with the con
gressman from New York (Mr. Fish)
Georgia never began or initiated
the lynching business, but a com
pany of Yankee soldiers did, which
was the first lynching in Georgia
and probably in the south. A negro
man in 18(15 had committed a rape
upon a white woman near Lawrence-
ville, Ga. and after committing the
act he fled to I.awrenceville thing-
ing that these soldiers would protect
him from violence by the family and
friends of the outraged woman.
When his pursuers arrived at Law-
renceville the officers in charge of
the ompany was told what the negro
had done. He thereupon took the
negro in custody, purchased a rope
and had it tied around the negroe’s
neck. He ailed upon an old negro
man who was present with a wagon
and yoke of oxen. The rapist was
placed on the wagon and the old ne
gro was ordered to drive under a
certain tree in the courthouse
Square. One of the soldiers climbed
the tree and hung the rope over Jl
limb and the negro driver was order
ed to move off. He hestitnted, but
at the point o a bayonet finally mov
ed and left the rapist swinging to
the limb until he died.
"Our people are opposed to lynch
ing, though many are charged up
against us. They abhor the cause
whih usually provokesc lynching,
because there is not a father with
whom I ever discussed the subject
who would not infinitely prefer to
seo\ his daughter 'le"* '**' *• *11
of the clods of clay as thew fell up
on her cofin than for her to be
come the victim o a negro’s lust;
and yet, in all this discussion by
the majority, not a thought has
been uttered nor n word of sym-
nathy expressed by any repupblican
who has spoken upon this question
for the desolate and helpless victim
of these brutes.
“The truth is, this proposed legis
lation is partisan and political. It
is a blow at the white people of the
south-nothing more and nothing
less. The bill was introduced and
is being prosecuted in order to pra-
mote the welfare of many of the
republicans in this house. It was
introduced and is being prosecuted
at the instance o their negro con-
stitutents, among others, and the ne
gro societies in the north who are
not so much interested in prevent
ing lynching of negroes for assults
upon our white women as they are
for establishing social and political
equality with the white people. This
is the expected climax of their ef-
orts. This is the froitage which
they hope and pray may grow out
of the agitation of the negro ques
tion and be the result of the pend
ing legislation. Human villiany
has sounded no lower depths than
is here fathomed in this political
effort to bring about such an in
famous heritage.
“The negro associations and so
cieties and the republicans who are
encouraging these conspirators are
doing the white and colored races
of the south an irreparable injury.
Those of you who are actors upon
the stage for these negroes arc
playing with lighting. You are
sowing to the wind, when the har
vest may be a revolution.
“The people of Georgia, notwith
standing she has been denounced in
severe terms on this floor, are
against lynching. The courts, the
press, the
state are
lynching in all its forms. All these
classes are useing their brains, tul-
t.» pat At) end to
cease to shine and the heavens will
be rolled up as a scroll before thus
state of affairs will ever exist a-
mong white people of the south.
