When a bystander asked "What's going on?" a policeman replied, "These kids are going to beat up those niggers." But the advancing column hesitated, began to fall back. Soon patrol cars of the metropolitan district police arrived and helped break the mob into smaller groups. A few "dele gates" fired a salvo of rocks, breaking a police car window.
