Coxey's Army march on Washington D.C.
If you google for Coxey's Army, wiki has a page on it. Coxey's name seems to be spelled differently by different sources. It was a small protest of unemployed men in 1894 in the midst of what was then the worst recession in the history of the US. Estimates of participation vary from 500 to thousands. Coxey was the leader, and was arrested and jailed for trespassing on the capitol grass. It was actually a sort of ragtag group, and so Coxie's Army probably tends to refer to an angry poorly organized grassroots protest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxey%27s_Army
