Because of the breakdown of the Einstein equivalence principle in the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) of Moffat, orthogonally polarized electromagnetic waves can propagate at different velocities in a gravitational field. Moffat has proposed that galactic dark matter, in the form of cosmions, may act as a significant source of gravity in the NGT. We discuss how observations of the highly polarized radiation from distant pulsars could provide significant limits on the strength of the coupling of cosmions in the NGT.
