ferees had gone too far and said that

y perpetual stigma should be put on con-
ticted cadets.

under public clamor and that Congress-
had acted upon impulse rather Than
upon judgment, He agreed that dis

low conviction Of hazlng, but The young
man he said, should not leave West
Point with q brand upon hlm-a brand
that would remain upon him through
lifs-that was going TOO far He sug-
ge'ted that a conspiracy might be or
sanlzed against some cadet at the
academy 50 that by his conviction Of

The brand would stand against him,

ihgaudents to Siberia and TO the mines
