Liscum, commanding the regiment, was killed.
NEGROES FIGHT LIKE TIGERS.
Company F, Twenty-fourth Infantry, lost Lieutenant Augustin, of Louisiana, killed, and Captain Crane was left without a commissioned officer.

The magnificent courage of the Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas Negroes, which make up the rank and file of this regiment, is the admiration of every officer who has written here since the fight.

The regiment has a large proportion of Southern-born officers, who led their men with more than usual exposure.

These men had always said the Southern Negro would fight as staunchly as any white man, if he was led by those in whom he had confidence.

The question has often been debated in every mess of the army.
