A soldier standing near by laughed and the policeman knocked him down with a kick. The soldier then knocked the policeman down with his fist. Some other soldiers came up and took the soldier to the Fort.

On Monday before the riot commenced a couple of colored soldiers were walking on Causey St. and were pushed off the side-walk by two white men. Some words passed between them and two policemen came up to arrest the soldier, they refused to be arrested and one of the policemen struck one of the soldiers over the head with his pistol braking it in pieces.
