Fans were left furious at full-time with hundreds chanting: “We want Walter out.”
The Tigers dropped into the Championship relegation zone as a result of the loss.
Walter was appointed in May to replace Liam Rosenior, who was sacked after finishing seventh in the Championship table – just outside the play-off places.
Club owner Acun Ilicali claimed he made the decision to dismiss Rosenior due to differences in their visions for the future.
