Menendez may have asked for the fuero militar for his men
...Captain Gabriel Dorotea Barba asked that the Company of Pardos and Morenos from Matanzas be incorporated into the Havana Battalion so that they would then be covered by the fuero. He wrote that the "Poor individuals [of that unit] despite much work and fatigue, which as not ceased since the creation [of their unit], still do not enjoy the fuero militar." (316).
