ACADEMY IS TRIED
Defense of Midshipman Meri.
weather involves Big An.
napolis School.
OUTLINED BY ATTORNEYS
Forced Into Fight That Led to
Death CT Midshipman
Branch.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 24.-The United
States naval academy was put on trial
today for responsibility for the death
of Midshipman Branch who died aftel
fist fight with Midshipman Meri
weather.
Meriweather, who is now being tried
by court martial on the charge of kill
ing Branch, began his defense today.
The main feature of his defense, it is
understood, will be 10 show by over
whelming evidence that the naval
academy midshipman officers connived
at his fight with Branch.
Outline of the Defense.
Meriweather's defense has been fore
shadowed by the cross examination of
witnesses. This defense as outlined
will be:
First-That long series of persecu-
tions of Meriweather by Branch drove
them to fight
Second-That the challenge TO fight
came from Branch. and that under the
code" Meriweather was compelled to
fight.
Third-That the fight could not have
GERS not conniyed at il.
Fourth-That Meriweather was not
as guilty as the midshipman officers
who violated regulations in allowing
the fight to take place or the officials
and seconds who did all in their power
to further it without doing any of the
themselves.
An effort will be made also 10 show
that the death of Branch might have
resulted from causes other than the
fight, and also of the effect of unskill-
ed handling after the fight.
Doctors say Fight Did IL.
The evidence before the court mar
tial yesterday was given by physicians
and surgeons. who were unanimous in
declaring that Branch died as a result
of blows inflicted upon the head

at the institution immortality and vice:
that the running expenses of the home
are greatly in excess of any other in
stitution similar in character in the
country and the services much less sat
isfactory; and that it appears impossi-
bic to run the home in the present
manner without annoyance and con
tinual charges of grave nature. some
of which appear well founded

Another resolution dealing on the
same subject also will form the basis
of an investigation to be conducted by

S3 a day was defeated. as was also 4
to allow past grand masters

feated, the grand lodge adopting the
report which acted adverse
