Where Enlisted Men Have
Been Denied Promotion.

Transferring his fight against ''snoo-
berry" In the navy from the Senate
floor to the department itself, Senator
Kern of Indiana. majority leader Of
the upper house, was today working up
facts in various cases IN which en-
listed men have been denied promotion
to the rank Of officers because OF the
fact that they had not peen In Annap-
oils.
He received word today that certain
young men have been rejected after
severe examinations by reason o. the
fact that the examining officers used
against them the ten points credited TO
