““* * * The restriction is for the protection of the property to which it applies, and is not affected by similar conditions which may arise in adjoining property. Castleman v. Avignone, 56 App.D.C. 253 , 12 F.2d 326 . The object of the restriction here was to prevent the invasion of the restricted property by colored people, not the invasion of property surrounding it. “If the facts here alleged were sufficient in equity to justify the setting aside of the covenant of restriction, all that would be necessary to defeat such a covenant would be the settlement of a few colored families in the immediate vicinity of the restricted area. * * *””
