Hazing from the midshipman's
point OF view?
The inside story of the traditions
of the Academy, the sacred code of
honor, which governs the Middies
by an unseen force. anc why hazing
is not stamped out by those in au-
thority?
It's an old story. II Is known 10
all the officers here, and the plebes
are made acquainted with il within
a few hours after they enter the
Academy.
haZing, or running. or whatever
name you choose to give il, is an
inheritance. It's hoCFy with tradi-
tion. For fully half a century it
has stalked through the corridors
and rooms Of the midshipmen. The
officers in charge-and by that is
meant the officers who have seen
duty here during Jae past fifty
years-haye seen the spectre at diff
ferent hours, but it is not written
that anyone ever made a really Sc
rious attempt TO kill it, The only
power that could or can subdue or
keep in subsection this raw-head
and-bloody- bones, which just now
holds a prominent place in the pub
lie eye, is the first Grass of midship-
men. As stated to The Times cor
respondent there is not today an
officer in the navy below the rank
OF captain who has not been hazed
and very few, indeed, waO have not
INDUCED themselves IN the practice.
Even Rear Admiral Sands, superin-
tendent of the Academy, is quoted
as saying that during his plebe year
he was hazed.
Ii is true there are rules and reg
ulations for the government of
the Naval Academy, and, generally
speaking, these rules and regula-
tons are lived up 10 by the midship-
men. But it's the rules, or rather,
the rates" prescribed by the first
class men that control the great
body of cadets. The officers may
say they know nothing of these
rates" that is, they do not sane
ton them. But, nevertheless, they
are the same rates" TO which they
subscribed when they We're midship-
men. These rates" inoCulate into
the cadets discipline that serves
them in good stead in after years.
They weed from the service every
boy who has d streak of yellow in
him. So claim the supporters of the
system. And the supporters, If the
truth would be known. embrace
every midshipman and officer in the
service.

POwer of the First Class.

TO emphasize the statement made
regarding the power of the mem
bers of the first class il is stated
in Annapolis as a fact which the
authorities nay easily ascertain.
that about On days or more ago
the membt s of the first class, by
class action, decided there should be
no more haZing, that in view of the
state of public feeling it would BE-
unwise to continue the practice. And
there has not been a case of hazing
since in the Academy The midship-
men say they have not been bluffed
by Admiral Sands special board of
inquiry, but they deemed 1t best
for all concerned TO take action, and
they passed the word TO stop haz-
ing That the special inquiry board
did not bluff the upper class men is
evident by the fact that Kiinbrough
was put through a course of stunts
on the night OF the day he testified
before the board. This is matter
of record.
TO say the authorities at the
Academy We're in ignorance of the
almost daily practice of hazing up
TO the time the first class took
action is ridiculous. It was brought
out with great force and elearness
at the Meriwether court-martial
that the code of honor was moi p

but was an unwrit. en- law

plebe wins he must fight again, and
so on until he is knocked out or the
upper class is satisfied. But the
plebe can stop the fighting by sub
hitting 10 the hazing. Sometimes
one fight is sufficient, after which
there is no further kicking against
hazinc
When the Plebes enter the Acad-
envy they come with a full under
standing of the traditions which
govern. Sometimes when an upper
class man orders a plebe to report
To his room he will kindly tell him
just what he must do and point out
10 him the little distinctions that
exist between the plebe and the
youngsters and the second and first
class men, There Is generally some
reason for the haZing administered
For instance the plebe may be
careless in his dress. or person, his
table manners may be imperfect,
there are hundred and one little
things for which he could be put
On the report. but instead of doing
that the upper class man, under
whose observation the offending
plebe may come. will administer or
cause TO be administered several
hazing stunts. And if an improve
ment is not noted the hazing is re-
peated with interest.
The Washington times., 1906-01-07

through the cooperation Of the
upper classes He knew the tradi-
tions OF the Academy and he knew
the influence OF tradition on the
midshipmen.
The assertion is openly made by
the upper class men that if the ques-
ton OF hazins or no hazins was put
10 a vote among the pIebes hazins
would carry by "a almost unani-
nous vote.
The stories printed that the plebes
are not allowed 10 accept invitations
To dances given By citizens OF An
nspoiis came under the head Of
fairy tales The plebe must respect
and give due Difference TO their
seniors. and must a-ways answer
yes. sir, or no, sir They must
observe the rates and refrain from
walking in any part of the grounds
reserved Tor the upper class men.
Indeed, this rule applies to the
third and fourth class men as well.
Certain beats are for members Of
the first class, second class. third
class. and fourth class. If a young

first class, he would be called down
hard, and if he got gay he might
have to fight. And this brings TO
mind that while Admiral BrOwnsCn
stopped hazins he did not interfere
with the code Of honor where il was
involved in any clse that had the
approval OF tn upper class.

comes known that he has written
