The shoe shiner was the first real friend griffith made that was negro and helped him with what to do for money, restrooms, and a place to stay; also, griffith confided in him about his expirament.  I think from how the guy reacted when griffith made him realize the change and how he talked to him it shows he's a nice guy.  You can tell he cares for others like at the scene of talking about how the begger beneath them wouldn't probably make it everyday if it weren't for his and joe's leftovers.  Also the man kind of took him under his wing telling him things, and showing him around town although knowing he was walking with a white man.
