She said her information sourccs revealed that Negro inmates wearing heavily padded protec tive coats, and white guards are used in putting dogs through their training paces. According to her. the Negro would stand and be “frisked’’ for weapons by the white guard, then pretend to attack the guard. His attack on the guard would be a signal for the dog to attack him in defense of the guard. Col. Allen admitted that this procedure miRht have taken place' at the Whiteville camp, but assert-1 ed that Negro men are not used exclusively in the role of the at tacker in the training of dogs. He said the role of the attacker in the Whiteville camp would nor mally be that of Negro because the camp houses only Negro in mates. But he also explained that in other camps, such as an all white unit at Alleghaney, the at- tacker’q role •would be assumed by a white prisoner.
