In short: yes they can. However a black ant can kill a red and too. Ants are territorial insects. They will defend their territory from other ant species. Some of the territorial disputes involve the availability of food sources. Additionally, each ant specie produce pheromones which can be detected by the use of their antennae. This helps them distinguish which ants belong to their own colony or a different colony. When the two ant distinct species meet, they tend to attack each other.
