From: Lieut.Roy R.Dunlap To: Lt.Co., Rooney Subject: Report on Negro Uprising, May 31st,1921.
1. I was notified about seven A.M. (7.A.M.) June 1st., to hold the battery in readiness for assignment to duty. And about seven-thirty (7:30) A.M. the battery was assembled and were issued arms and ammunition the same being in first class condition.
2. About fifty percent of the battery reported for duty of which some of these men were assigned for duty at the armory and others on sentry duty in various stations in and about the city.
3. On or about June 3rd., 1921 the battery was relieved from duty. I would say that Battery "C" obtained the fullest co-operation from the infantry units stationed in Tulsa and the conduct of battery "C" was most commendable.
4. My command, as you are aware, has not been Federalized and is not uniformed,or equipped. I did the best I could under the circumstances and all my men exhibited a fine spirit.
