Accounts of the origin of the trou
ble differ, but the version accepted by
the police today is that the fighting
started at the 29th street bathing
beach where the whites and colored
people are separated toy an imaginary
line. This version of the affair says
that a negro boy on a raft crossed the
boundary line and that white boys
threw stones, knocking the colored
lad into the water, tie was drowned.
A general fight developed tbetween
the races, and riot calls (brought hun
dreds of police into the colored Ifiiis
trict, the center of which is around
31st and State streets, more than a
mile from the (beach. Negroes asked
the police to arrest a white boy, and
when refused the negroes began to
beat the white boy.
