The passage was from a court ruling for the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896 given by Justice Henry B. Brown of Michigan. 

The main purpose of the passage is "to defend segregation as an acceptable practice" or that it is legal and constitutional as long as public facilities are equal for both races. This decision became a landmark for the U.S. Supreme Court, a doctrine that became to be known as "Separate but Equal". Nowadays, this is known as the time of segregated drinking fountains, restrooms and many more.
