1T MUST BE ABOLISHED.
House Committee Makes Full and
Singing Report ON HnEing
mt West Point.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE report of
the special congressional committee
which Investigated the hazing of Cadet
Booz and the general subject of haz-
ing at West Point Saturday was SUBJ
mitted to the house of representatives
by the chairman of the committee, Rep
resentative Dick, together with bill
making stringent regulations against
hazing, fighting and all brutal prac-
tices.
The report is an exhaustive review
of the practice of hazing in all its
forms, and while moderate in tone is
nevertheless stinging arraignment
of the many alleged brutal practices
enumerated. 1t specifies more than
100 distinct methods of annoying and
harassing fourth-class men, and de-
scribes them in detail. One of the
funny formations" described is that
practiced on Philip Sheridan, Jr., who
was compelled TO ride a broomstick ''in
nockery of his illustrious fathers
achievement at Winchester" The re-
port states that a system of fighting
has grown up which is shocking in its
character. The fights are described
and the committee states that the West
Point code is more vicious than the
Queensbury code.
The committee held that fighting is
the worst form of hazing. The report
says that such fighting as that at West
statutes in many of the states, and the
time has come when congress must de-
eide whether fights, which are high
crimes elsewhere, shall continue at
West Point.
The committee finds that Cadets
Macarthur, Breth and Burton were
hazed into convulsions, others were
hazed until they tainted, while others
were hazed until they were sick.
The hazing of Cadets Booz and Breth
is elaborately treated, but the COM
mittee does not attribute their deaths
directly to hazing.
The bill submitted contains IL Sec
tions against hazing, and provides
means for it's detection and punish
ment. Dismissal is provided for TAX
ing part in fight or a challenge, di-
rectly or indirectly, or for any form
OF annoying, harassing or bracing of
cadets. Cadets dismissed are made
ineligible to appointment to the
army, navy or marine corps. Pro-
vision is made for courts of inquiry,
courts-martial, closer association be-
tween officers and cadets and other
means for effectually stopping the
| practice of hazing
