ON THIS DAY in 1910, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Kelly and Drummond in a Near Fist Fight.”
The article focused on a fight between two pols at the time.
“Only the timely interference of Lieutenant Kennell of the Mayor’s Office prevented a physical mix-up between Joseph T. Kelly, president of the Greenpoint Taxpayers Association and Charities Commissioner Michael J. Drummond at the meeting of the Board of Estimate this afternoon, when the plan to acquire a site for a Greenpoint hospital was being considered,” the Eagle reported.
