There is no "allegedly" here--he did this:

"In 1952, Kazan appeared before the House Committee on Un-American Activities and named eight of his old friends from the Group Theater who in the 1930s, along with him, had been members of the American Communist Party...

"Norma Barzman, Lee Grant, Jules Dassin, Walter Bernstein, all victims of the blacklist, among others, cannot forgive Kazan for what he did. As Barzman explains, 'His lifetime achievement was the destruction of lives.' "

This article from the LA Times lists the people that Kazan named:
