CADETS SCORED
BY CONGRESSMAN

West Point, n. Y, Jan. 1.-THE con-
gressionaI investigating committee held
three sessions at the West Point Mill
tary academy today. The first two seS-
sions and the greater part of the night
session were occupied in the examina-
ton of Cadet Lewis Brown jr.. of New
port. who was one of Keller's seconds
in his fight with Booz.
From the line of eNamina ton adopted
by the committee the congressman are
evidently bent on the abolition of haz-
ing and fighting at the academy. They
put Brown through an exhaustive ex-
animation. in the course of which they
ELECTED the fact, that in violation of
the rules anu regulations of the insti-
tuition the upper class men carry in
tOxicating liquors into the reservation
and consume a considerable quantity
Of it. Another stringent rule seems TO
have been broken with impunity. This
is the regulation prohibiting smoking.
Cadet Brown acknowledged that the
majority of the cadets were cigarette
smokers and that plenty of cigarettes
we're smuggied into the institution.
General Dick, Judge Smith and AIR.
briggs handled Brown without gloves.
Mr.. briggs told him that the first class
men thought they were the whole
thing and Judge Smith said that they
were conceited, arrogant and indignant
in their presumption of putting their
judgment against that of the authorf-
ties of the academy.
Cadet Brown told about fourth class
men being required to read things
about themselves or relatives.
AT the end of each line he said
''as was the case with Cadet HObson
they are required to insert their own
names. Mr.. HObson once read about
his brother and the incident of the
sinking of the Merrimac and at the
end of each line he had to say I am the
man
Did he read anything about the Cal
ifornia incidents?" asked Mr.. briggs.
NO, sir; he was not asked to do
that" replied Brown laughing as he
spoke.
AT the night session. under examina- I
ton by Chairman Dick, Cadet Brown
said that eagling. wooden Willie, foot

hell and William A. Death, three of
the four men accused of the murder of
Jennie BOsschieter. p mill girl Of Pat
erson, n. j. under circumstances re-
voting in their utter lack of humane
ness, commenced today before Judge
Dixon in the Passaic county court of
oyer and Terminer. George J. Kerr,
the fourth man under indictment, was
not in court today, as he had been
granted a separate trial on the ground
that he was not present when the fatal
dose was administered to the girl.
Judge Dixon carried on the proceed
ings with such vigor that within one
hour after the court had been called to
order he impaneied twelve jurors and
heard the opening lines of the address
of the prosecuting attorney, who de-
ciaTed he would ask a verdict of muir
der in the first degree
The remainder of the day saw four
questioned. Mrs. Nina BOsSchieter,
the mother of the unfortunate girl,
was one; her daughter, Susie. anOth-
er, Christopher Small. the proprietor
of the saloon where it is alleged the
drug was administered to the girl, was
the third, and Gus SchulthOrpe, the
hack driver Of the midnight ride, was
the last. Mother and daughter told
of JenDie's life at home and at the
mill. Schulthorpe, in his crude, I'M
vanished way, told to the minutest
detail the story of the crime. He
graphically described the taking of the
almost unconscious girl from the sa-
loon to his carriage, and of the ride
to the country and the unspeakable
crime committed on the dead or almost
dead girl.
A number of women were present.
SchuIthorpe said that on the night
of Oct. IS a young man came TO him
and engaged his Victoria The man
was George Kerr. Kerr told him
