of Brooklyn said during the course OF
the hearing:
1--WE are her as representatives TO
get all the facts not only in the cases
of Cadets Booz and Breth but in
every particular regarding hazing in

this institution. The academy is on
trial and every one connected with it
and we intend to show the country the
truth of the matters and hazing must

Cadet Geo. r. Spalding of Michigan
who acted as timekeeper at the Keller
Booz fight, was the first witness
called. He said he was an eX-Off1cio
member of the "Scrapping Commit

;Is that a standing committee?"
"Yes, sir; but there is not as much
use for it now as there was some
time ago."
The testimony then reverted to the
Bookseller fight, bringing out nothing
new. Some congressman wanted to
know why the cadets did not settle
affairs of honor with army six-shoot-
ers but the witness said he thought
in that case the fourth classmen
would he at a worse disadvantage
than in a bare-knuckle contest The
witness admitted that the officers
were inclined to ignore delinquencies
except in the cases of popular men.
Cadet John K. Herr of New Jersey
said he had known of funny perform
ances in the hospital, but knew of no
hazing there, and had never heard of
any cadet being punished for hazing
in the hospital. The witness said he
had been dismissed from the academy
about year but had gone to Wash
ington, where he secured his rein
statement The dismissal was con-
nected with hazing offenses of which
the authorities had become cognizant.
Cadet o. N. Tyler of Maryland testi-

from the stretch and do other things.
