WITNESSES VERY IGNORANT.

AT the Navy Yard.

The court of inquiry investigating the
navy yard hazing case was occupied yester-
day afternoon with the examination OF
three of the white seaInen sunnefs, ba her'

careful as to how they answered the cues

The witnesses. generally, testified that
they never saw any balls or missiles i'll the
hands OF any of the white classmen. nor
ever heard Blink the class captain talk
about there having been thrown at the
colored members OF the class. They knew
nothing of a committee being appointed
to ask the colored men TO leave the table,
but had heard Murphy, Kennedy. and
others say they did not want 10 associate
with the cOIOred classmen.
Briggs, the last witness, testlfied tnat
he knew nothing OF Johnson being assaulted
until lie heard some one from the hospital
say so. He also saw johnson drying MS
bed in the drying-ruom but never asked MN
ANYTHING about il. The only reason he hau
for believing that the white men of tie class
did not want the colored men at the same
table with them was that ON one or two
occasions he saw the colored men at
separate table.
