beginner: how to hit the 2nd string cleanly

$

Hi.  I am a beginner trying to learn clawing.  I can get the first string alright with my middle, followed by the thumb on the 5th string.  ("Did-dy, Did-dy").  Now I am trying to get at the 2nd string with my middle.  I keep muting it, as I am trying not to play both the 2nd and the 1st together.  Should I be depressing the string and then lifting the finger to sound it or what?  It seems to require a different way of playing it than the 1st string, as I can just strum down.  Do I need to strum down and then up or something?
