It's possible that it might be, depending on just how serious the 'affray' was.

Moral turpitude generally refers to conduct that shocks the public conscience. Offenses such as murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnaping, robbery, and aggravated assaults involve moral turpitude. However, simple assaults not involving dangerous weapons or evil intent do not involve moral turpitude.
I'm not sure what an "afray" is, but different states define 'moral turpitude' differently. Crimes of moral turpitude generally involve some sort of lying (fraud, bribery, perjury), theft (extortion, robbery) or depraved indifference to the welfare of others (rape, arson, kidnapping). Generally speaking, felonies tend to be considered crimes of moral turpitude, but lesser crimes can also be considered so if they involve some form of dishonesty.

Again, however, this varies from state to state.
