Humorous Answers.

West Point, Jan. 1.-THE congress
sional committee, Investigations the
cases of the deaths of Cadets Booz
and Breth, has decided that every wit
ness called must answer any ques-
tions put to him. Congressman briggs
of Brooklyn said during the course of
the hearing:
1--WE are her as representatives to
get all the facts not only in the cases
of Cadets Booz and Breth but in
every particular regarding hazing in
the mess hall or any other place of
this institution The academy is on
trial and every one connected with it

! truth of the matters and haZing must

rs that standing committee?"
Yes, sir; but there is not as much
use for it now as there was some
time ago."
The testimony then reverted to The
Bookseller fight, bringing out nothing
new. Some congressman wanted to
know why the cadets did not settle
affairs of honor with army six-shoot-
ers but the witness said he thought
in that case the fourth classmen
would be at a worse disadvantage
than in a bare-knuckle contest. The
witness admitted that the officers
were inclined to ignore delinquencies
except in the cases of popular men.
| Cadet John K. Herr of New Jersey
said he had known of funny perform
ances in the hospital, but knew of no
hazing there, and had never heard of
any cadet being punished for hazing
in the hospital. The witness said lie
had been dismissed from the academy
| about a year but had gone to Wash
ington, where he secured his rein
statement. The dismissal was con-
nected with hazing offenses of which
the authorities had become cognizant.

fed that he had been eagled 400 times

progress was made by the senate with

speeches by Mr. Cushman (rep..
Wash) and Mr.. Hepburn rep, Iowa.
The latter has been a persistent op-
ponent of the river and harbor bills
for years and he attacked the bill to-
day all along the line in his usually
vigorous fashion. On chart brought
into the hall in figures sufficiently
large to read from the remotest limits
of the hall was a list of the II states
which had members on the river and
harhor committee, giving the sums
appropriated and authorized in the
bill. The direct appropriations a
mount to s14,1SS.26O. and the author
lied appropriations amount to s24.-
45T,S96. He said the II states with
members on the committee got all the
appropriations with the exception Of
SS.S4s,55T, which was left to the 2S
other states. Mr.. Cushman said that
he was in favor of river and harbor
improvements, but a bill for that
purpose should be for the benefit Of
the whole country. not for the benefit
Of members OF the committee.
