The prejudice against the Negro as an artilleryman was further and effectually dispelled in the record made by the 349th, 350th and 351st artillery regiments and their machine gun battalions in the 92nd division.
With the exception of the training camp for officers at Des Moines, Iowa, no important attempt was made to establish separate Negro training camps.

In the draft quotas from each state were whites and blacks and all with few exceptions, were sent to the most convenient camp.
Arrangements existed, however, at the different camps for the separate housing and training of the Negro troops.

This was in line with the military policy of the Government, as well as in deference to the judgment of both white and black officers.

It undoubtedly was necessary to separate the two races.

Furthermore, as the military policy called for regiments, battalions and, divisions made up entirely of Negroes, it was proper to commence the organization at the training camps.
