I wish the country to remember also that the reputation of former President Theodore Roosevelt as a military man rests largely upon the Battle of San Juan Hill. and I want the Nation gratefully to remember that on that occasion the colored troops carried the Stars and Stripes to victory on San Juan Hill. I wish my country to remember thatthe first blood shed in the Revolution was that of a colored man. I wish it to be remembered that the colored man fought and died abroad in the late World War as in other days he fought and died for the Nation that enslaved him. But notwithstanding his loyalty and patriotic services there remains the race problem that disturbs the peace and harmony of many communities. I would not add to the number of our race problems and hence this amendment which would stop Filipino immigration.
