SummaryResumen

The *New-York tribune* reported on a gathering where James Weldon Johnson and former Dominican President Francisco Henriquez y Carvajal criticized U.S. military occupations in the Caribbean. Johnson characterized the occupation of Haiti as pure economic exploitation, describing native resistance fighters as patriots rather than outlaws. Henriquez y Carvajal explained that Admiral Knapp instituted military rule in 1916 after Santo Domingo rejected an imposed treaty, expressing faith that the American public would eventually repudiate the intervention.
