IT WOULD BE UNFAIR
Tc Use Testimony Of Cadets at Hearing
Against Them.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary Root
said this afternoon. that he was not
yet prepared to say what action he
would take as result of the disclos-
ures made by the investigation of the
case of Cadet Boose by the Brooke
court of inquiry, nor was he yet ready
to make public the findings of the
court. Speaking generally. he said that
the rules of the Military Academy were
very strict against hazing, more so
under Col. Mills than ever before, and
that every cadet found guilty of that
practice had been dismissed. one of
the questions to be determined by Sec
rotary Root is what action shall be
taken to discipline these cadets who
admitted in the testimony before the
Brooke court that they had participant
ed in hazing practices. He intimated
very strongly, however, that it would
he unfair to use evidence obtained in
that way against the cadets.
