Hi:

Aren't V1 and V2 factors in this data frame? If so, you should be
plotting bar charts rather than histograms (they're not the same). Do
you want separate graphs for V1 and V2, do you want them stacked, or
do you want them dodged (side-by side for each level 001, 002, 003)?
In the absence of such information, it's difficult to tell you how to plot them.
