CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 11- (UP) - Shouting Egyptians, demanding the ouster of British troops from Egypt, demonstrated against Britain today for the second successive day but this time there was no violence.
Heavy police escorts kept order as a crowd of thousands paraded through Mustafa Kamel Square, then moved on to the larger Ibrahim Pasha Square to hear speakers shout:
"Down with Britain. We want the British to get out of our country."
Leading the crowd, Sudanese students at two Cairo universities cried "down with foreign domination- we want one king, one crown, one Nile."
After streaming past the palace and cheering King Farouk the crowds dispersed without incident.
Anti-foreign mobs yesterday smashed British and French business offices, hurled bottles looted from American soft drink distributors' trucks. and set fires.
The demonstrations are the product of violent public support for the plan of Prime Minister Mustafa Nahas El Pasha to oust British troops from the Suez Canal and take full control of the jointly ruled Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
