The Whitaker Court Martial,


The Whitaker court.martial continued the
examination OF witnesses yesterday. The most
important witness was Major General Soho
held, the former superintendent OF the academy.
After rehears1ng the proceedings or the court
OF inquiry, he said that he did not think that
outside support had anything to do with
the result OF the court OF inquiry. but had
great deal to do with the course Of the court.
and that the court had yielded, and he thought
properly, to those who were higher In au.
Chamberlain, witness said he had issued "order
NO. IA, > removing certain restrictions imposed
on all cadets In the academy, because he well
knew what the world could not know, and on
account of the strong pressure brought to bear
upon him from many friends and relatives OF
imposed upon the whole body Of the stu
dents, In consequence OF an eScapade made
In the preceding January. Among those
who exonerated themselves from this
business was Whitaker and witness regarded
his statement that he was In no way concerned
as honorable. IL also indicated to witness that
Whitaker considered himself as apart from the
rest OF the students. The court of inquiry had
just completed the examinati) IN of all the ca.
diets when witness issued this order exculpat.
Ing as emphatlcally as he could the whole BODY
OF cadets. Witness believed that the body or
students admitted to the academy at West
Point were on par with the students of any
college throughout the country but that when
one half In the academy had been dismissed
those remaining were superior. When counsel
asked whether the same process did not bring
ABOUT the same result in other colleges he said
that he cid not believe any body or young gen
tlemen In any college should be suspected of
committing an outrage OF this peculiar charac-
ter without strong reasons. His confidence In
the word OF the cadet was very high. Nobody
had ever thought OF allowing cadet to exon
crate himself from crime such as was perpe-
trated upon Whitaker upon his own EVIL
