Bob Garnett's strict discipline as COM
mandant.
And now comes Mrs. DR.. w H. FELTON,,
in the Atlanta Journal, pouring out her
"vials of wrath" upon 1.-THE United
States Military Academy and as usual
with such writer's, without regard to
truth or reason-not that Mrs. FELTON,
deliberately fal ifies, but that she is
guilty of disappearing things Though
careless writing or ignorance of facts.
Here is one of her blunders: II was in
West Point in June, 1880. The negro Flip
per had been under examination that year
just as the dead Pennsylvania cadet has
been criticised and defended this year.
The examination resulted in the finding
that Flipper had slit his own ears and
was not the victim of hazing." Now, the
truth is, that Henry Os ian Flipper. the
Georgia colored cadet referred to- had not
only been out of West Point in 1880 for
three years as a lieutenant in the Tenth
U. S. Cavalry, but had passed through
the academy without any trouble what
ever, and graduated two numbers above
Oscar ]. Brown of Georgia. and four
numbers above Maj. Gen. Benjamin F.
Buffers son. 1t is probable that Mrs.
FELTON, had in her mind the cases of
johnson Chestnut Whitaker, the South
Carolina colored cadet, who was accused
of cutting his own ears He
was always in some kind OF
trouble, brought on ~by his own i'm
pudence. His color had nothing to do
with his failure to graduate, for Flipper
went through all right. But Mrs. Felton,
is wrong in her June, 1885," as Whitaker
entered West Point I'm 1870 and Flipper
only three years later.
II - 49, ~I.-I. az .I.r
of West Point, brings in Oberlin NJ. Car
ter's case and says: IF he had not been
so rich and well-connected, he would stay
in prison stripes during life" This proves
that she knows very little indeed about
Carriers case. No man, charged with any
crime, ever had the same amount OF
money and influence expended in his case
TO save him from conviction and the at
tendant penalties. Admitting, as l do,
that Carter was the grandest villain ever
graduated at West Point his punishment
was i'm no sense too mild. The mere i'm
prisonment was but a small part of the
disgrace and penalties inflicted upon M
There have been few other cases OF this
kind that West Point has suffered FROM
but her general record gives the strong
est denial to Mrs. Felton's charges or
drunkenness immortality and dishonesty
Take all of Georgia's graduates, for ex-
ample, and how many have ever been In
disgrace, In or out of the academy or
army? Mrs. FELTON, evidently is as faulty
In her charges as In her dates.
