If you mean to say they cannot communicate with each other in any way, then do you mean it's set up like this:

( = wall

< or > = direction facing

B > ( <W <B <W

So B1 cannot see anyone, W1 can see a wall, B2 can see W1 and W2 can see B2 and W1?

If that's the case, I say

B2 yells black first. W1 can't know what color his is. B2 can't either, but when W2 doesn't answer that his is white, then B2 knows that W2 sees a black and a white, instead of 2 whites. Then he knows that either B1 or W2 must be wearing the other white and that he is wearing the Black.
