tai Annapolis Fight Punished
Further Investigation.

Washington. Nov. S.-Secretary 30
naparte stated that the recent occur
renee at the Annapolis naval academy.
resulting in the death of Midshipman
Branch. has been thoroughly inyesJi-
gated, but that at present no further
orders would be issued.
Admiral Sands, the superintendent at
the naval academy. today telegraphed
Secretary BOnapaTte that Lieutenants
Fitch and Noyes of the cadet battalion
had been reduced to the ranks for par
ticipating in the unfortunate affair by
which young Branch lost his life. The
regulations provide for the immediate
investigation Of the matter by court
of inquiry, which. it is said at the de
partment, will undoubtedly recommend
a trial by court martial not only of the
survivor of the priZefight. but of the
time keeper and the referee, both cadet
officers and perhaps of the cadet Of
ficers who permitted the men to with
draw from the supper line last Sunday
evening to engage in the fatal encoun-
ter. 1t was stated at the department
today that while the naval authorities
have ample machinery for any action
necessary, they will not throw any OBJ
stacle i'm the way of an investigation
which the local authorities might desire
to make.
