SAY THEY OBEYED ORDERS.
OFFICERS OF THE SEVENTY FIRST REGG
MENT TESTIFY AS TO INSTRUCTIONS

GIVEN BY GENERAL KENT
The list Regiment Board Of Inquiry resumed It's
adjourned session yesterday morning in the 2d
Regiment Armory. The most prominent witness
was Chaplain George r Van De Water All the
members Of the Board We're present.
Percy /. Hudson. n newspaper man, was the
first 10 take the stand. He testified as to talk he
had with General Kent at Camp Wikoh after the
return of the list lie said that General Kent had
told him that he was sorry ne had criticised the
list so severely; that the fault was perhaps, on
his own shoulders as he had ordered the regiment
70 go forward and depoy and then TO remain in
reserve on the road The General had said he had
put too much on n volunteer regiment and that he
should have ordered n Regular Army regiment 10
do what he had told the list to do.
Chaplain Van De Water was the next witness
r was said that his testimony related 70 the CON
duct OF the regiment up 10 July l. when he was
ordered n the rear and that he testified 10 the
bravery Of the men up 10 that time. When the
chaplain came Ont Of the inquiry room he refused
to tell what he had said
After Lieutenant Garthwaite and Major Wells
had been on the stand for time recess was
taken ard in the afternoon Captain Lnson. Lieu
tenant Hill. Captain Stevens. Lieutenant wilson
Major Smith, Corporal Corwn and Colonel Downs
were witnesses All except Lieutenant Hill testi-
fed that they had heard General Kent order Colo
mel Downs in a loud voice 10 deploy his regiment
into the trail and remain In reserve This is a
contradiction Of General Kent's statement that he
ordered advance. chaplain y an he Wafer was
al the front when these orders were given. and he
testified 10 hearing them and noting them down.
as ne had been commissioned 10 keep a diary OF
the regiment.
The witnesses agreed that there panic as
described by General Kent The men, they said.
did not throw away their arms or shoot wildly in
the air. one OF General kents own 0incers on the
stand a few days said that he had heard no
firing 81 guns.
Lieutenant Tayman. who swore that he had come
back with orders to secure achievements. and
mad found Major Read ~ General Kents staff,
near the list Regiments position He said the
Major had asked whether there was list officer
who was not afraid to lead his men up the Hill. and
that the men Of Company IFhad rushed out and
followed MIN up Lieutenant Gdrthwaite said that
Lieutenant Tayman came and saw Major Read.
and the latter called for men 10 go forward Com
pany II went but Lieutenant Tayman was NOT
soen after that. ne said Lieutenant Garthwaite
and Major Wells explained statements that Rcgu-
lar officers could not ind the officers Of the list by
saving that owing 70 the heat the officers had
taken off their blouses AT Siboney. and thus many
Of them wore no insignia OF rank They did not
even have the usual white stripes their trousers
Colonel Welch said that the Board would sit
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday IN which time
