I just tried several google searches to find ANYTHING about this, even something that debunks it.

I tried
John Philip Sousa violence
John Philip Sousa maim
John Philip Sousa kill
Did John Philip Sousa assault anyone
John Philip Sousa baton

And got NOTHING.

Surely if this was a big scandal in the 1800's, it'd be somewhere on the first page of search results by now.
