They wanted to protect Black voting rights.
The 15th Amendment (1870) barred denying the vote because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude — aimed at securing African American male suffrage (and, as a political benefit, helping Republicans in the South). It was not primarily an effort to remove or directly limit President Johnson.
