CAPTAIN RAMsEY's PUNISHMENT OF CHEERING
CADETS.
ANNAPOLIS Nd. June a-There was a scene at
tbe naval academy graduation this morning that
has never been witnessed at that Institution. nor
| never probably, exceIled In dramatic interest In
any commencement exercises. The cadets listened
WIN great interest and appIauded to the echo the
cay those points that severely criticised BY i'm.
pllcatlon the conduct OF cadets in cheering and
grooming their fellows against regulations. Then
captain ramsey, superintendent OF the academy,
arose to deliver the diplomas Behind him
seated on the platform, were DR.. Leavitt,
board OF visitors, members Of the academy board
andinumbers OF ladies. Capt Ramsey stood with
his cooked hat in hand and full uniform. and
looked straight forward into the audience His
Ups were seen to move, but few OF the spectators
heard what he said. The name OF 8. Dana Greene.
Greene stepped forward to receive his diploma q
number OF cadets broke into cheers, the usual
steps to the front to receive testimony OF his
graduation. In an instant the bright and
CHEEKY scene was changed: Captain Ramseys
anger he said: "You show your tnsubordinat1on
and attempt to disgrace yourselves and the naval
academy before fhe eyes OF the country; those who
applauded march to the 'front.'" and then to the
establishment OF the spectators twenty cadets stood
before the rate superintendent, who said to Lieut.
Green, who followed them up, "Take them to The
.Santee until further orders" Several OF the con-
Vlcted cadets parents were present and saw their
sons march off to prison and nobody
seemed to know the reason The line
was composed OF Cadets Glascock.
Gray and Webster. OF the graduating class; Cadets
Mckay, OMalley, Crisp, Mexican, Jones N. By,
Jones Oh. W., Beecher, OF first class cadets:
Jacobs, Warfleld DeKraft, Fenton, Of the second
class; Cadets Wlnrom, Griswold. Dodd. jenkins
and Breed. OF the third class Diplomas were then
handed to the remaining graduates in funeral
silence, the situation being painful and gloomy
This over, all the cadets were marched out to the
new quarters, where they were dismissed,
Then 1t was discovered that the first words Capt
Ramsay had spoken were that there should be no
applaud1ng, and the unfortunate cadets like
nearly all the audience, had not heard it. Of1cors
and cadets crowded around the superintendent
and represented the situation, and Capt Ramsay
relented and ordered all who had not heard the
orders to be released In an hour the cadets were
once more at liberty. MeSsrs. Giascock, Gray and
Webster OF the graduates were also given their
diplomas
