THE HONOR CODE A MISNORER
Fighting Not The Business of The
Christian Nations.

It the morning preaching service
yesterday. at the College Avenue Bap-
tlst Church, the pastor, Rev Thomas
Z. Holloway, in speaking on Lessons
From Some of Last Weeks Happen
Ings, made reference among other
things to the death OF Midshipman
Branch. He said in part:
This past week has recorded the
most unfortunate event thai ever &C.
CURED in the history of the u. 5.
Naval Academy, the death of a mid
shipman, who received his fatal injur-
les in common fight with fellow
midshipman. While the whole coun.
try sympathizes with the bereaved
parents of the dead student. il is
aroused to Indignation at the knowI-
edge that such fights are of common
occurrence in the Academy and that
they are called affairs of honor and
are excused on the ground of being a
custom dating back 60 the beginnings
of the Naval Academy and the West
Point Academy.
We, who are the true friends of
the Navy of the United States and
devoted to the interests and prestige
of the Naval Academy, are deeply
grieved lest the people of the country.
not knowing all the facts in the case,
will look on the Academy as school
for brutality rather than an institution
in which young Americans are taught,
ia refined manner. the arts of mod
ern warfare and given to understand
that lighting is not the chief business
OF modern Christian nations, but is re-
sorted TO in the interests of national
honor and ighteousness, when all
peaceful methods of settling Difficult
ties have altogether failed. May the
investigation of this sad and tragic
affair be so open and thorough that
America and the world may know that
knockout fist fight is not the recog-
nized ideal recreation of the Naval
Academy and so free from stain the
fair name of the many noble officers
and midshipmen of the United States
Navy
This can only be done by an hon.
est and thoroghgoing campaign to
stamp out custom that has wrapped
it in such dire possibilities. A code
of honor that results in the death of
one promising young man and the
lasting dishonor of another, is certain
ly misnomer and cannot be tolerated
ia the national schools of the people
actuated by such exalted moral ideals
as were evidenced in the glorious re-
suits of the widespread elections of
last Tuesday. We cannot hesitate for
one moment to believe that Rear Ad-
nrfral Sands. Secretary Bonaparte and
President Roosevelt will do their ut.
most to wipe out this disgrace for
which no particular person is directly
responsible, but from which all are
suffering. "

new scheme is ON foot with tho

If the Pennsylvania establishes this
