The report did yield one bit of good news in particular: “From 1994 to 2015, white-on-white violence and black-on-black violence declined at a similar rate. White-on-white violence declined 79 percent (from 52.5 to 10.8 victimizations per 1,000 white persons). Black-on-black violence declined 78 percent (from 66.6 to 14.5 victimizations per 1,000 black persons).

The 10.8 and 14.5 numbers are what it was in the year 2015. It is NOT some average over the 1994 to 2015 period.

(But the difference is far less stark than the impression the mainstream media reporting, and there are quite a lot of reasons for the supposedly higher crime rate, like police concentrating on stopping and arresting black people -- please see my #1 on that)

As for the excerpt in the OP, there is no number or statistic given on black-on-black violent crime during any time period, nor in any particular year. Other than this:

in 2015, there were 6,000 Black lives lost to murders from Black people. 6,000 Black lives lost to murders from Black people

First I'd have to convert the 6,000 total murders into a rate per 1,000. Next one has to realize that murders are a subset of violent crimes. Violent crimes include injuries and attempted murder, etc. as well as murders.
