ent at any rate. Remeber when the
riot drill was introduced by Col. Nc
Lean. Remember in June last hear
ing Captain Good passing remarks
about the sailor drill Spoke deroga-
lively of the drill. Made these remarks
during the riot drill Said he did not
blame us for making mistakes in il
and we would do as little OF IL as pos
sible. Cannot remember how many
times l have heard Captain Good re-
fer to Col Mclean as sailor and not
a military man. Remember the 4th
of July parade heard Captain Good
use strong language TO the men on
an order TO guide right Remarks
were made in tone loud enough to he
heard on both sides of the street"
ROBERTSON QUESTIONS.
Cross-eXamined-Fix the date OF a
meeting in the company office re-
garding the shooting match by the
commissioned officers and IL was on
this same day. The object OF calling
us together was to say that we had not
been treated right and we need not
compete. Captain Good gave his own
opinion and asked the men theirs.
Don't remember whether there men
who agreed with him. Was not a
member of the team so he did not ask
Captain Good said as il was a long
time ago. Don't remember whether
he said anything about spending any
money for practice. We are required
to shoot ten rounds each month; am
not good shot and not qualified to
say whether this was enough; should
not think ii was l was never present
at another meeting if one was held.
Men usually shot in their own time:
do not remember of other men doing
the duty of the marksmen when they
were away. The remarks made by
Captain Good did not apply entirely
to the target shooting, at least do not
think so. Captain Good has been no
less strict since the reduction OF pay.
THE CAPTAIN ERRATIC.
Consider Captain Good changeabI .
man, strict one week not at all the
week. Has been more changeabIe
than usual since the arrival of the
Colonel. Prizes were offered the men
to keep up to the standard. Captain
Good once gave SIS as prize for this.
He gave this prize last year; do not
remember of his offering any prizes
this year. First spoke to us after the
was made; told us to put the
to load ammunition. The effect of
this would be that men who wanted 10
practice would have to buy their own
Riot drill is not in book
orders calling for riot drill. Am not
an expert in tactics; cannot say much
about the riot drill. AS a sergeant l
know that the riot drill is something

ginated; was not soldier until came
TO this country. Never saw anything
in a book referring to this riot drill.
EFFECT OF REMARKS.
Cannot fix the date of any remarks
made against the drill by Captain
Good, they got to be SO common that
hey went in one ear and out the other.
The last time was in June when we
we're practicing for the Fourth of July
parade Some of the men would pick
the drill up quick. others would be
slow. Remarks would usually be made
as the drill began. Don't think the
riot drill interfered with the ordinary
drill; some men might be forgetful,
was right guide in the drill and could
not see any mistakes that were being
made by men in the rear. Have no
idea how long the ships bell has been
in use at the Bungalo. Referring TO
the Miller street episode / do not re-
member whether the company was
guiding TO me or / to the company.
Captain Good was addressing some
one when he used the profane Ian
guage.
