1t was reserved for the last witness be-
fore the West Point investigating COM
mittes TO give the evidence that reflected
most severely upon the hazing practices
at that institution. Much OF the testi-
mony has been to the effect that while
the forms OF hazlng in vogue were hu.
initiating to the plebs no serious injury
was done to them physically. This wit
ness evidence disclosed two instances
where cadets had been thrown into con-
WILSON'S and their lives put in jeopardy.
Cadets were hung on bars with their feet
up, so that when they dropped from ex.
haustion they struck upon their heads on
the floor, several feet below. The faint
ing cadet was frequently drawn up again,
and again dropped from exhaustion.
In arranging the fights the pisb was al.
ways pitte1 against an experienced light
er from the upper GLASS, and the principal
object OF the contest was to cut up the
freshman's iace as badly as possible. The
witness said he was familiar with hazing
az the literary colleges, but the hazlng
at West Point was far more brutal than
anything to be found at those instltu-
lions.
