David Fagen
A native of Tampa, Florida, USA,〔(Fagen, David (1875- ?) | The Black Past: Remembered and Reclaimed )〕 David Fagen (1875-?) was an African-American soldier who defected during the Philippine-American War. He acquired the rank of Captain in the Philippine Army.
==Service==
Fagen served in the 24th Regiment of the U.S. Army, but in November 1899 defected to the Filipino army.〔Rudy Rimando, ("Interview with Historical Novelist William Schroder: Before Iraq, There Was the Philippines" ), November 28, 2004, (History news Network ).〕 He became a successful guerrilla leader and his capture became an obsession to the U.S. military and American public. His defection was likely the result of differential treatment by American occupational forces toward black soldiers, as well as common American forces derogatory treatment and views of the Filipino occupational resistance, who were frequently referred to as "niggers" and "gugus".
After two other black deserters were captured and executed, President Theodore Roosevelt announced he would stop executing captured deserters.〔
