HAZ|NG At WEST POINT.
The Report of the Special Committee
of Congress Presented to
the House.
THE DOCUMENT IS AN EXHAUSTIVE ONE.
Its Tone In Moderate but Emphatic,
the Keynote Deing the ConcIu-
sion that BrutnI Hnzing and
Fighting Must be Bnnishcd From
the Academy at All Hazards.

Washington, Feb, 9.--Thc report of
the special congressional committee
which Investigated the hazing of Ca
Diet Booze and the general subject of
hazing at West Point was submitted
TO the house OF representatives. by the
chairman oi the committee, Repre-
sentative Dick, with bill making
stringent regulations against ha2ing,
fighting and all brutal practices.
An Exhaustive Review.
The report is an exhaustive review
of the practice Of hazing in all it's
forms, and Will" moderate in tone,
is nevertheless a singing arraingn-
mcnt of the many alleged brutal prac-
tees enumerated. 1t specifies more
than 100 distinct methods of annoy
ing and hara sSing a fourth-class
man, and describes them in detail
One of the funny formations de-
scribcd is that practiced ON Philip
Sheridan, Jr., who was compelled 80
ride IA broomstick, lin mockery of his
illustrious fathers achievement at
Winchester" The report states that
II system of fighting HAS grown up
which is shocking i'm its character. The
fights are described. and the commit
tee states that the West Point code is
more vicious than the Quccnsbcrry
code.
The Worst Form of HnzinE.
The committee held that fighting is
the worst form of hazing. The report
says that such lighting as that at
West Point is felony, according TO
the statues in many of the states,
and the time has come when congress
mus. decide whether fights, which are
high crimes elsewhere, shall continue
at West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets
Macarthur, Breth and Burton were
hazed into commissions, others were
hazed until they tainted, while others
were hazed until they were sick.
Cases of booze and Breth.
The ha2ing of Cadets Booze and
Breth are deliberately treated, but
the committee does not attribute
their deaths directly to hazing. The
report adds:
"But while we can not tiN upon
hazing the responsibility for these
two deaths, the possibility that it
FASTENED them and the blot it throws
on the otherwise fair and glorious
fame OF the academy; its conflict with
proper training and discipline, and
uniitness in this new century urges
the adoption of reasonable, yet we
believe, effective measures for its
eradication and the promotion OF
discipline at the academy
The BiII Against Hnzing.
The bill submitted contains eleven
sections against hazing and provides
means for its detection and punish
ment. Dismissal is provided for taxi
ing part in fight or a challenge, di-
rectly or indirectly, or for any form
ID annoying, harassing or bracing of
cadets. Cadets dismissed are made
ineligible to appointment TO the army,
navy or marine corps. Provision is
made for courts of inquiry, courts
martial, closer association between
officers and cadets, and other means
for effectually stopping the practice
of hazing.

Agnes looked curiously at her father,
as if to read the purpose hidden in the
depths of his inscrutable eyes. She
saw nothing but a polite dismissal in
his calm face; and the interview be-

had begun, with formal courtesy on
both sides.
