Y., Dec. 19.—~The ex- amination of cadets who were in the same class with the late Oscar D. Booz at the military academy here two years ugo wus continued today by the court of inquiry appointed by the War department to probe | the allegation that Booz was brutally hazed |« two years ago and died two weeks since at | Bristol, Pa., as a result Fourteen of Boox's classmates, who num- | bered sixtr-elght, testified at yesterday's proceedings and each one of them denied that any brutality was practiced at the | demy. The first fifteen minutes of today's ses- slon was beliind closed doo Wh the open sitting was begun. Cadet Raymond L. Linton of Michigan was examined. He sald ho knew former Cadet Booz in 1598 and he seemed to be in good health. He said | Booz was not hazed nor treated brutally so | far as he knew. The witness described “bracing” ar an exaggerated form of the position of a soldler. It was a drawing in of the chin and throwing back of the shoul- ders at the same time Captain Dean, the recorder of the court, asked: “If a fourth-class man is unpopular 18 he subjected to m bracing' and ‘ex- ercising’ than others?" | “On the contrary, sir, a great deal le replied the witness. “He is let alone by the upper classmen and members of his own | Booz flopped down seconds, testified The witness said: “The men put up eir haods and sparred. Keller landed a blow on Booz's eye and the latter turned his head away. He tried to avold Keller, who safd ‘Stand up and fight’ Then Booz went down from a light blow and did not want to get up. He was helped up, but went down again two of three times and wanted to quit. He got a blow on the body, but not hard enough to knock him down He cried and said he would give up. He was not knocked out. He just laid down. After the fight,” continued the witness, 1 told Booz that his actions were cowardly and were so regarded by the others and that he could remove the stigma by fghting another upper classman, his own size or smaller, but he paid no attention to me." Had he a mark on his body?" Yes, he bad & black eye.” WASHINGTON, Dec 19.—~The special ommittee appointed by Speaker Fenderson to investigate the circumstances connected with the death of Oscar L. Booz, who I8 al- leged to have died as a result of Injurles received from “hazing” while a cadet at West Point, today decided to enter upon the investigation immediately after the hol- iday recess. The committee determimed to probe the Booz case to the bottom. It will meet at Philadelphia on January 3 and go the next day to Bristol, Pa, the home of the young man's parents. Chair- man Dick was authorized to instruct the burgess of the town to notify all who have knowledge of the case that they will be ex- pected to testify there. Thence the com- mittes will go to West Point. Colonel Mills, the superintendent of the academy, will be notified that all cadets having knowledge of the matter will be required to give their testimony. In addition the committee will examine some of the young men who were in Booz's class, but who have falled or left the academy for other reakons, in order to procure testimony which Is not perjudiced by the atmosphere of the academy. The committee will also class.’ In reply to questions by Colonel Hein, commandant of cadets, the witness said “Thore are positive orders against ‘bracing and ‘exercising,’ and cadets have been we- verely punishud for violating these orders.” Ll " | On a blackboard in the f the hall the following was written 0 haze—To play mischievous or abusive tricks on, try | the pluck or temper of, especially by phys- | feal persecution, lower class students In a college or newcomer fn an establishment of any kind.—Century Dictionary.” Cadet Stepher Abbott of Illinois, the n witness, when sworn, was asked to this definition of the words “‘to haze,” he sald that was not the words as applied “bracing,” etc., which took place in the ecademy. He was not quite clear on th rules permitting this practice. He has been requested as a fourth-class man to take wome few drops of tobasco sause off a spoon, but was not forced to do it. He took it himself ai the order of two upper classmen It was hot, but did him no harm “Did yeu see Cadet Booz after the fight with Keller?" asked the recorder Yes, sir, his left eye was blackened." The witness went on to say that he had n r known Booz to be abused or {ll- treated and denied that Booz was interfered with on account of his religious practic In reply to Commandant Hein the witness #ald he had known cadets as well as the commandants of the mess table to be se- verely punished for permitting or practicing “restralnt,” “bracing” or other exercises on lower classmen, Cadet Albert B. Dockery of Mississippl was questioned at length on milltary regu- tations prohibiting hazing. General Brooke t read and his construction of to the hazing by read an extract from the United States military regulations prohibiting nearly everything which could be construed as bazing. Then the general asked ““Are those regulations violated?* “Yes, sir,”" replied the witness On being questiomed by Culonel Mills, superintendent of the academy, the wit wmid: “Tabasico sauce, If not on the table, can be had for the asking.” “Do you know any other name for jt," asked the superintendent After some hesitation the witness re- plled: “Yes, sif; the cadets some times call it ‘hellsauce.’ " Various Forms of Hazing. Cadet Charles McH. Eby of P was asked about the hazing, wh syl h as anin 1 to be prevalent, but which he said was dis continued about two years ago. IHe de- seribed the methods as follows Bracing—An exaggerated form of a sol- Merly position Wooden Willle—Continuous gun drill Foot Ball-Lying on buck and raising the legs to a perpendicular position and back several times, probably for six or seven minutes Eagling—Standing on toes Manging on Stretcher Suspended on Bands from bar, with fe “DId you ever see a man falnt while un- dergoing any of these exerclses?" “Well, 1 have known a man to feign,” was the reply “Under what form of “Eagling, 1 think, sir.’ “How long did he exercise?” “I can't say exactly—about five or minutes, 1 think. “Who was th. “Myself, sir.” This reply caused laghter, in which the wornen spectators joined ““Then you are an authority on fainting?" #ald General Brooke. “'No, sir; I never fainted,” t not on floor. ercis six man?" was the reply Eby then, at the request of Superintend- | ent Mills, stood up and gave the court an exhibition of what is known as “bracing,’” which did not seem to be a very unnatural or painful position Boa Fight with Keller.

The committes will call on the secretary of war for a transcript of all testimony before the mil- itary board Referring to “bracing,” the witness sald he would not ““brace” an underclass man in the presence of an officer in charge, because he would be severely punished The witness, in speaking of treatment by “bracing” of lower class men for “offenses,” was asked by General Brooke what were considered “offenses.’ “Well, should they refuse to comply with an order from an upper class man, providing the order would not bring discredit on the lower class man, and also 1t they walked in a slouchy manner,” was his definition. New Cadets “Full of Conceit.” Continuing, Herr sald that many fourth class men on their arrival at the academy were “full of concelt,” which had to be taken out of them “Describe the Brooke The witness hesitated, but after a sug- gestion from General Clous, he sald: “‘Some of them are concelted on account of wealth and others because of soclal standing, posi- tion or superior intellect.” ““Then these are treated by the upper class men this way in order to bring them to a realizing sense of the fact that they are no better than anybody else?” suggested neral Brooke. Exactly, sir.” Hiram M. Cooper, a cadet of the second class from North Carolina, said that on one occasion he was compeiled to take a cold bath. It was In the summer. Cadet James B. Stubbs, Jr., of Texas testified that he had seen Booz after the fight walking down the company street with a smile on his face. In speaking of an agreement between the classes over a vear ago to abolish hazing, the witness said it was brought about by the publication of some reports of hazing which had appeared at that timo. Cadet Adam F. Casad of Indiana testified that Booz was unpopular owing to his cow- ardly conduct in his fight. Cadet John A Cleveland of Alabama said he was hazed in 1897 when he first came to the academy. The rough hazing of that time was now totally done away with. Had to Sit In Washbowls. Cadet Philip H. Sheridan of Illinois said he did not know enough about Booz to form an opinion of him or hive any feeling toward him. Asked if he himself had ever been hazed, the witness replied: “I was made to say ‘Turn, boys, turn' several times." “From what Is that taken?" asked Gen- eral Clous. “From ‘Sheridan’s Ride,’ young fellow proudly. “What else were you asked to do?" “Oh, some foolish things, such as riding broom handles and sitting in a washbow! in the company streets.'” “Did you think that these acts humiliated you”" asked General Clous. “No, sir, they were not humiliation, a! though 1 did not like to do some of them. Cadet Troup Miller of Georgia had to recite poetry or prose from memory. He had to do exercises, bracing and sitting up, and while he did not enjoy doing them they had no i1l effects on him. Laurence V. Frazer of Wisconsin #aid he knew nothing of Booze' turther than that he was a member of the same clase. Oficiated at u Rat Foneral. Rigby Valllant of Arkansas knew Boos, but not very intimately. He knew that the former cadet was not very popular, but the witness never knew of his belng hazed. [Ho himself was hazed, had taken part in pillow fights and a “rat funeral.” The latter was held in his tent. The body of a dead rat was placed on top of & box and a towel laid over it. Four lighted candles were placed on the corners of the box. A high priest was appointed, who read from the “black book.” “What is that?" asked Captain Dean. “The regulations of the military acad- emy, sir,’”" was the reply, Continuing, Valliant said flowers placed around the body of the rat. services lasted about hai’ an hour. Sev- eral upper classmen took photographs of he proceedings, after which the rodent He had heard the president of the Young Men's Christian association alled “Sainty Mitchell,” but it was not done in disrespect. All the cadets, he said, looked up to Mr. Mitchell Cadet L. Hodges of Virginia said that he, as well as many other fourth classmen, lost weight at the beginning of the en- campment in 1805, but at the close had | gainea weight James A. Shannon, a cadet from Min- nesota, sald there were about five fights between fourth and upper classmen during camp in 1808, It was the rule, he said, it the two men had a disagreement and they were of unequal size, one or the other would choose a man to replace him, so as to equalize matters. “Dropped from Exhaust Cadet William Davis of Georgia sald he had to go through exercises and was fre- quently tired by his efforts, A you ever drop from exhaustion?’ asked General Clous “Yes, I dropped, but T was not exhausted; 1 only pretended to be." elee were you required to do?" 0 #ing songs, elimb up the ridge pole of the tent and crow lke a rooster," said the witness, much to the amusement of the women in the gallery Cadet Benjamin Miller of Virginia said Not candle grease had been dropped on his feet and the same was done to Booz.

He sald a man who would not fight when ‘“called out” would be looked down upon, but he knew of no case in point “Would a man who refused to fight on religious grounds be regarded with con- tempt?"’ asked Commandant He'n “He might be by some,” answered Hin- richs, ““but I never heard of such an in- stanc s Poor Opinion of Boor.

" “Why did you give him this advice?" “Because 1 had heard men say things to him as they p: & nature that I should have resented them He left three days later. His eyes were weak, but I would not have known it, only that he was attending hospital.” Walter K. Wilson of Tennessee had seen Booz the night of the fight. His eve was black, but he could not say what kind of spirits he was in, as he did not talk to him. Wilson had had his feet Inspected and many other little things, but it did him no harm. Hobaon's Brother on the Stand. James M. Hobson, jr., of Alabama, a brother of Richmond Pearson Hobson, was then sworn. When he gave his name the women in the gallery stared at him and never took their eyes off the witness until he left the room. He sald that Booz was disliked for his lack of physical courage Hobson had to climb the pole of the tent, stand on his head in a bath tub with water fn it and other little ordeals which his classmates had to go through ““Was anybody strangled by this practice of standing on his head in the bath tub?" “Yes, sir. 1 was slightly strangled my- self, but not hurt “What other forms of hazing were you subjected to?" “I had to endeavor to tell jokes try and sing,” was the reply. Burt Philips of Ohlo, after telling about the hazing of '89 was asked if he were not the man mentioned by the father of Booz in his testimony the other day. General Brooke read from the transcript of the stenographer's notes in which he states that Phillips' father came to West Point In 1898 to prevent his son from being hazed. The witness said his father came here, but he was not aware that he came for such a purpose. The last five witnesses called this even- ing were: Francis P. Langley, Illinols; W, A. McCain, Mississippl; Willlam W. Ed- wards, Missourl; Ned B. Rehuopf, Iowa, and C. M. Allen, Ohio. They all told about the same story of hazing in ‘98, and were a unit as to the question of religion never being considered in the treatment of any of the men.
