CX should be able to print the bag tag all the way to DCA (show them your DL PNR/ticket), but as ASUDan mentioned, you will have to claim them at JFK to clear customs. CX printing the bag tag all the way to DCA saves you the hassle of having to lug your checked bags from T7 to T2/3, since there is a bag recheck area for bags tagged to their final destination right outside customs.
