action Of Col. Clarence p. Townsley, SUI
perintendent Of the Military Academy. in
depriving of their privileges eighteen
cadets found guilty of the practice. The
cases Of these cadets were the first which
Mr. Garrison has considered in which
hazing was the offense.

to some question.
IT have Investigated the recent hazing
incident at West Point. which gave rise
to considerable talk in the newspapers.
Congress long ago required the stopping
Of hazing, and made it incumbent upon
the Secretary Of War to approve appro-
pirate regulations to that end Those reg
ulations were made, and clearly define
what shall be considered as hazing, and
indicate the character OF punishment
which may be inflicted.

Punishment Was Light.
''rhese boys each Of them knew that
they we're deliberately infringing regu-

he WAS identified as deserter from the
