Senegalese French Army troops blamed for civilian massacres during WWII

In 1939 Jean Moulin (1899-1943) was appointed préfet of the Eure-et-Loir département. The Germans arrested him in June 1940 because he refused to sign a German document that wrongly blamed Senegalese French Army troops for civilian massacres.

I've been unable to find out any more about this incident OR if other such false blame was applied to black troops.

Any ideas?
