answer the charge of assuming I'M
warranted and unauthorized authority
over lower classman, in such way
as to humiliate and embarrass Fourth
Classman Godfrey de c. Chevalier of
Medford, Mass.
The incident was brought out by
the Investigations of the board of Off
GERS attached to the academy and who
are assigned this extra duty by Admi-
raj Sands. This board meets at stated
intervals, when fourth classmen are
called before it and questioned broad
ly as to whether they have been
hazed or know of any of their class
mates who have suffered like indig-
nifty. AS soon as Midshipman Cheva-
lier's case was unearthed report was
made to Admiral Sands, who ordered
an Investigation and served notice on
Cutler that he must file an answer in
writing. This answer will be placed
in the admiral's hands this morning.
