THE MARINE BARRACKS.
Clergymen Appear and Testify Before the
Court of Inquiry.

Yesterdays session Of the court of inquiry at
the marine barracks, navy yard, was enlivened
by the testimony Of Rev. DIR. George H. Corey
of the Christian Commission, whose illness had
prevented his appearance on Wednesday. Rev.
Mr.. Parson and DR.. Samuel NJ Newman were
the other members of the committee whose
complaint to the Secretary of the Navy brought
about the inquiry. The testimony of DR.. Corey
tended to show that he had no thought Of q
personal investigation. intending merely to
have the grievances of the men looked into
and that neither he nor his colleagues were
actuated by malice and that neither he nor the
others on the commission knew Capt. Meade
personally.
At the conclusion of his testimony DR.. Corey
was excused, and after Capt. Meade had pre-
sented his argument the court adjourned until
1890 today.
