Midshipnan a. w. Fitch. who
refereed the fatal Meriwether. Branch
fight at the Naval Academy, and who
admits that he acted as referee in
nineteen similar encounters, testified
that the men wore the ordinary
gloves used in punching tho bag. Z"
Snoh gloves weigh usually les' than
an ounce apiece, No professional
PRIZE fighter would now think of using
them. No professional prize fighter
would be allowed to use them. He
would have to wear five. ounce gloves
at least; i'm many states six and in
some states eight
The Injury inflicted when gloves Of
the kind worn by Meriwether and
Bran IN are used is much greater than
in hare. knuckle fighting. The gloves
protect the hands aud enable the con-
testants 10 strike harder blows than
they could do If they were using only
their la'e fists. Naked fist fighting
was long ago abandoned rs too brutal
for tho prize ring. The great evil Of
the Naval Academy fights is not that
the midshipmen, under their own
code. settle their differences in rrim.
hive fashion. but that no attempt was
ever made to regulate these encoun.
ters, which the authorities have
winked at for years. With proper
gloves and under ordinary gymnasium
restrictions no great harm is likely
TO result from two lusty young fell
lows punching each others heads.
Where they are allowed to fight to a
finish with the lightest of gloves the
wonder is that there was no Meri-
wether. Branch tragedy long ago. =

The Meriwether court martial still
is conducted in the even tenor of it's
way. 1t is possible the court may
close its case tomorrow if the prosecu.
ton does not bring forward many wit
nesses in rebuttal II is safe to say the
sympathy of the townspeople are with
the young mau Meriwether. He is
the unfortunate victim of a very bad
system at the Naval Academy which
is known TO have existed in the navy
since 1880. The system called the
"code of honor" has been known TO
exist for years and years and it has
been oondoned by the authorities
That Midshipman Branch was the first
victim of such a pernicious system is
t, be wondered at; that Midshipman
Meriwether is the one to stand the
hruns of such code, is all the more
distressing.
The fault is not in the code of
honor. but il lies with those who
knew of it aud permitted il TO con-
tiuue. AS Cardinal Gibbons said in
his sermon at st. Mary's Church last
sunday at is not manly ID fight.
IL is unmanly" The code taught by
Holy Writ aud by Him who is Man 5
pattern, is not AN eve fer an eye aud
a tooth for tooth +" The God Man
when He was revilsd, Ieviled not
again. aud yet the young men of our
Christian nation are taught TO pound
and pummel each other into a shapeless
mass. or they will be ostracized or put
into coventry. Truly we have wander
ed far from the paths of truth aud
right business when the heads of one Of
the greatest departments Of the gov
eminent winks at prize fighting.

The midshipmen have been very sue
cessful this season in the football con
tests, but they should take a lesson

from over confidence when they meet

Johns Hopkins lest the game largely
