WORSE THAN AT WEST POINT
THE HAZING OF CADETS AT THE
 NATAL ACADEMT.

Congressman Sherman's Information on the Subject Yonng Men Have Been Stood on Their Heads Until They Have Had Hemorrhages from the Nose, Ears and Mouth-An Investiga-
 tfon Necessary.
 Washington, Jan. 25.-Ihe resolution of Representative Sherman of New York, providing for a congressional in- vestigation of alleged hazing practices at the United States naval academy at Annapolis has caused quite a stir in
 congressional circles interested in the navy and the academy. MT. Sherman said to-day he proposed to follow up the resolution and he had no doubt the investigation would be ordered
 II am informed by cadets who have been at Annapolis" MT. Sherman said to-day, that hazing is carried on there even more than at West Point, and I also am informed the hazing begins even before boy enters the academy AS soon as ne reached the clty TOT the purpose of examination the practices are set In motion against him. 1 have been told that boys have been stood on their heads until they had hemorrhages from the nose, ears and mouth. This comes to me from such credita ble sources that it demands investigat tion. am unalterably opposed to all this horse play at our government institutions The government does not carry them on for that purpose and the practices must be stopped"
 Representative Meyer, of Louisiana a member of the naval committee, said it had been his understanding that hazing at Annapolis was of a mild form: still, MT. Meyer said, MT. Sherman was not in the habit of making reckless state ments and if he said he had informa- tion of serious hazing 1t would be quite proper to investigate the matter. This appears to be the general view of the naval committee. The committee holds its next regular meeting on Tuesday and action may be taken then.
