PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down by protesters at Brown University Tuesday, forcing administrators at the Ivy League school to call off his lecture on "Proactive Policing in America's Biggest City."

More than 100 students and social justice activists turned out to protest the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy and its surveillance of Muslims. Many of them began shouting and chanting inside the lecture hall as the event began.

Brown officials asked protesters to allow Kelly to speak and reserve their comments until a question-and-answer session. When the shouting continued, the hall was cleared.

Students opposed to Kelly's visit first petitioned the university to cancel the lecture, according to Jenny Li, a Brown student who helped organize the protest.
