H BOOB INQUIRY.
A Brother of the Deceased EX-Cndet
Defends His MemOry-Other
Testimony.

West Point, N. Y, Dec. 2S.-There
was an unusually large attendance of
spectators at the military court of in
curry Thursday. Horace c. Booz, a
civil engineer of Buffalo, and P. o. Phil
lips. of East Cleveland, who was her
aided as a congressman, but told the
press representatives that he was never
elected to congress-, were the chief wit
nesses. The formers testimony was
principally a refutation of the state
ments made about his brother, former
Cadet Oscar L. Booz, of Bristol, Pa,
who died recently. Several of the cadet
witnesses during the progress of the in
vestigation accused Booz of having
shown cowardice in his fight with Cadet
Keller in August, 1898. and they also
accused him of untruthfulness,
Lieut.. Coe, instructor of mathemat-
les, in his testimony last week, stated
that Booz was not possessed of sutfi,
cient mental capacity to pass the neces'
sary examination at this academy. His
brother stated that this was not so, as
the manner in which the former cadet
had passed his examination at the pre-
p]aratory school at Bustletown, Pa, was
sufficient TO prove that Oscar was pos
sessed of sufficient intellect. He said
Oscar was not untruthful, and he was
anything but a coward.
Mr.. Phillips principal reason for APP
pearing before the court was to show
that he had not visited the academy in
1898 for the purpose of saving his son
from being hazed. He stayed there for
about ten or eleven days in August OF
that year, shortly after the fight be,
tween BooZ and Keller had taken place
Mr.. and Mrs. Booz stopped at the same
hotel with him. but neither one Of them
complained of their sons treatment
He said that in his opinion Booz was
not the kind Of material out of which
good army officers could be made.
One of the witnesses at the morning
session informed the court that he had
seen Cadet Breth so far exhausted from
severe exercising that stimulants had &c
be given him in his tent in 1897.
In the afternoon two other cadets Of
Breth's class said they had seen him in
a nervous condition, his body, arm,
and legs twitching after he had been
hazed, but one of them said he believed
Breth was pretending prostration,
