"Following rumors that rioters had planned to break into the 369th Regiment Armory, 142nd Street and Fifth Avenue, and confiscate rifles, pistols, bayonets and ammunition, a heavy guard of police was thrown around the home of Harlem's crack regiment." [AA, 3/30, 12] "At the height of the rioting or disorders, whichever they may be termed, a cordon of police was thrown about the 369th Armory, guarding closely the 143,rd Street and 142nd Street entrances. This precaution was taken to prevent mobs from storming the armory and seizing guns and ammunition belonging to the National Guardsmen."
