No, it was not a "convention " but a small group of smugglers trying to protect their interests. The British had lowered the cost of tea and the smugglers were selling Dutch tea at a higher price than the British. They had to protect their interests so they gathered a group of men from the dock pubs and went onboard 3 ships. They were not dressed as Native Americans as the legends tell us.

McGraw, playing with the Baltimore Orioles, got into a fight with Tommy Tucker of the Boston Beaneaters during a game at the South End Grounds in Boston on May 15, 1894. Tucker went sliding into third base and McGraw kicked him in the head while attempting to apply the tag. As the fight was in progress, a fire started in the right field stands that made its way towards the stands behind home plate and eventually destroyed the stadium. The fire spread and damaged over 100 adjacent buildings near the ballpark.
These two men were Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gold and bronze medalists, respectively, of the 200 meter run. They were impressed with the words of sociologist Harry Edwards who had pleaded with black athletes to boycott the Olympics to protest racial injustice in the US. So they planned a silent protest to be performed on the medal stand if they medaled in the race. Smith wore a black glove on his right hand and Carlos wore a black glove on his left hand. At the time of the national anthem they bowed their heads and raised their gloved hand in the air. Smith represented black power and Carlos represented black unity. Reaction to their protest was swift; they were suspended from the team and banned from the Olympic village. A lesser known and rarely discussed fact is that Peter Norman, the 200 meter silver medalist from Australia, also participated in the protest. While he stood at attention and faced the flags during the national anthem, he wore a badge for the Olympic Project for Human Rights, an organization of black athletes striving for racial equality in the US and around the world. Carlos and Smith, and Norman became close friends and their friendship lasted until Norman's death in 2006. Smith and Carlos were pallbearers at Norman's funeral.
