[SalesForce] jQuery .click(function(e){} not working on lightning component

I am new on Salesforce/Lightning and I'm trying to implement this OrgChart library in a lightning component. The nodes (html) are created dynamically from the javascript library, the methods are called using classes + jQuery, for example :

Class : 'add_node'.
Method : $("#add_node)...

To be able to change that, I copied the whole library inside the lightning component 'helper' and here is my current "add_node" function.

$("#add_node").click(function(e) {
    console.log('you clicked!');
});

The thing here is that the $("#classExample").click(function(e) { methods are not working.
I tried to put like a console.log on it and it simply doesn't run.
Also, I tried to change the method to .on("click",(function(e)){} but it didn't work as well.

Here is my .cmp :

<aura:component controller="hierarchyCompController" >

              scripts="/resource/cs_community/lib/jquery-1.11.3.min.js,

    <body>
        <div id="infovis"></div>

Here is my js Controller:

    doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
         helper.createOrg(component,event,helper);
    }
})

Here is my helper:

            function changeHandler() {
                if(this.checked) {
                    top.disabled = bottom.disabled = right.disabled = left.disabled = true;
                    st.switchPosition(this.value, "animate", {
                        onComplete: function(){
                            top.disabled = bottom.disabled = right.disabled = left.disabled = false;
                        }
                    });
                }
            }

    }
})

The comments inside the helper are from the original library.

Am I doing something wrong or is there other way to handle this click events inside a lightning component?

P.S : I am not able to add an onClick method inside the node, since there is a 'Content Security Policy', that blocks the whole thing from the browser.

Thanks in advance.

Just for the record, this issue was happening due to JQuery version. I was using 1.11.3 and according to this post, it has to be versions like 2.2.2 or 2.2.4. After I uploaded a new version, this issue were solved.
