You fly a half-mast flag by quickly raising it into the air and then slowly dropping it half way, tie it off, and you are done!
Half mast means someone important like a cop, firefighter, etc has died and to the peak is just a normal day. (:
I looked this up and the only thing Eisenhower did with the flag is set the design in 1959. The flag act in 1942 gave guidance on how to fly the flag, but it made it voluntary for those flying the flag. I found nothing specifically mentioning half staff flying of the flag. It seems this is just came out as a way to honor someone or an event that has impacted the society. More or less like tying a ribbon around a tree. Nothing makes it official, but something everyone has adapted as a response to an event.

A few things you should never do to honor the flag is burn it, fly it while it is dirty and you shouldn't change the way it looks. The flag is a national symbol.
Flying the flag at 'Half Mast' or half way up the pole is common for an important person's death in most western countries.
Halfway down the flag pole the flag is attached to.
