LIEUT.. G. P. SNYDER'S DENIAL
He Claims Midshipmcn Misintsrpre-
ted His Meaning.

Lieut.. @. p Snyder. u. S. N. the
officer who was on duty in Bancroft
Hall last September and of whom n
number of nidshipmen testified in the
court-martial proceedings against
Midshipman Claude b. MAYO that
they had understood him TO suggest
TO them that they should discipline
the fourth classmen in the way usual
to upper classmen at the Academy,
continued his testimony this morning
and absolutely denied that he used
the words which could fairly be given
such a meaning. He did not definitely
deny the use of any of the language
attributed to him. but said that he
had no thought that it could be inter
preted as the midshipmen did.
Lieutenant Snyder further stated
that he was altogether opposed to the
practice OF hazing and that if he had
given such a suggestion TO midship-
men he would have been most dere-
lict in his duty as an officer He
spoke, he said, to Midshipman Brain
ard. OF the first class only, and assum-
ed that first classman would take
bis words in the proper way.
Midshipman William @. Koenig, of
the fourth class, was the only other
witness this morning. He was called
by the defense and said that he was
the officer of the day on September
"a last, the day when the affair took
place. He said that Lieutenant Sny-
der had notified him to take charge
and had gone out after dinner He
remained away, the witness said, for
an hour or longer.
At IL O'Clock the court took a recess
until O'Clock this afternoon, when
the closing arguments in the case will
be made. The next case for trial is
that Of Midshipman Richard II. Mann,
a presidential appointee.
