About 300 black protesters clashed with white youths when the blacks marched through the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn where a black teen-ager was shot to death Wednesday night. There were some scuffles, but no injuries or arrests as the blacks were confronted by white youths shouting racial epithets. Teams of detectives, meanwhile, were responding to tips all over New York in the hunt for the gunman, said police spokesman Sgt. Ed Burns. On Friday, Chief of Detectives Robert Colangelo said they wanted to question an 18-year-old Brooklyn man. Five other youths were arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court meanwhile on charges stemming from the shooting in which Yusef Hawkins, 16, was killed. Four of the suspects were held on $75,000 bail each. The fifth, identified by an official as “the instigator” was ordered held on $100,000 bail.
