Uy Itolmltc VVhe lioin Tlie Associated Press. West Point. .Inn II. The congrcs nlonal committee, which continued Uh Investigation of hazing tit the military ncademy until a Into hour lust night, resumed Its Inquiry nt 9.30 o'clock this morning. Cadet John K. Heir, of New Jersey, who wns ft classmate of Cadet Hooz, imd who was one of his seconds In the Keller light, said he had never Been to hasco ciiuce Klvcn to Itooz. He Kald ho was so disgusted with Uoox's con duct In the light that after Booz had refused to light again he never spoke to him unless Hooz spoke first. He as sorted that men's religious beliefs wero respected at the academy. Exercising, he said, had been done away with at Vest Point, lint fighting still existed. "Then this litis not become a Sunday school Institution yet?" remarked Mr. Drlggs. "No, sir." Morr said ho had been told by former Cadet Moigan that he had hazed Cadet Krlnton until the latter fainted. Mr. Drlggs asked him several ques tions regarding notorious hnzers but Ilerr could only remember the nanips of men who had left the academy be fore graduation. "How Is It that you can only remem ber the names of men who are not now In the academy?" "I have told you nil I remember, sir." "Ton are not withholding anything?" "No. sir." In answer to Colonel Clayton, the witness said that brutal hazors were the kind of men who would be most apt to (.ever their connections with the academy lxjforo graduation. "Did you know Cadet Bender?" "Yes. sir." "What was His reputation as a baser?" "He was said to be the worst that ever came here, ho left the academy before finishing his course." "He was bright, bold and brutal wasn't he?" said Mr. AVanger. and then udded, "his retirement was not connected with hazing?" "No, sir." A Humane Hnzer. The witness, in reply to Mr. Smith, said th.it. ho had been dismissed from the academy about a year ago, but had gone to AVashington and secured his reinstatement a week later. His dismissal was connected with hazing offences, of which the authorities had beconiu cognizant. Ho had never hazed a cadet to tho extent of his endurance. "Then you nre a humane hazer, If I may use tho expression?" said Con Kressman Drlggs. "Do you distinguish between cruel hazing, such as that done by Bender, and humane hazing, like that enforced by yourself and others like you?" "Yes, in a way, sir." Cadet O. N. Tyler, of Maryland, an other of Booz's seconds In the Keller fight, took the stand next. Ho described tho fight, but added nothing new to what had already been elicited from tho previous witness. He acknowledged that ho had told Booz that ho was a disgrace to tho corps. This was In the evening of the day of tho fight. In reply to Mr. Drlggs, tho witness said that ho had been exer cised almost to the point of exhaus tion. "What heinous crime were you expiating?" asked Mr. AVanger. "I had done nothing, sir. I wns walk Ins up the company street when Cadet Ilarlee, who is now out of tho corps, met me and told me to go to a certain tent, where I would get a few points on woodenness." In reply to questions, he said be ha ; been eagled 400 times, was required ti hang from a stretcher, hold out In dian clubs and sit on a box and hold hla feet orf tho lloor. All this look about an hour. "AVero you very tired?" asked Mr. Wanger, to which Tyler replied: "I was very near to fainting, sir. I got back to my lent nnd my tent-mato helped mo to dress for parade, i at tended tho parade, but my knees wero very weak. I nlso had to do ruanl duty that night." added tho witness. "Were you laid up nfter this?" "No, sir; I was pretty well fagged all next day, but Iot along all iIbIT " Afraid to Reveal Names. The chairman asked Tyler the uunio of the man who had hazed him, but tho witness said: "I would rather not toll." . "Was it Harloe?" "No, sir, Harlec sent me to tho tent. It was a man who is now in the corps ivho hazed mo." Congressman Drlggs Insisted that the witness should tell tht name, as tho man ought to bo brought before the committee, ho said to give some ex planation. Tyler said that he did not like to do so, as it might injure tho man, who Is now near graduation. Tho committee then went into exe cutive session to discuss whether the witness would have to answer. During the time tho committeemen were In executive hesslon in another room tho witness sat still, but was so affected that the tears ran down his cheeks. He was approached by a reporter from a New York newspaper, who poke to him In reference to tho queB- &HV GETTIN reportcr was Immediately F.WM unio his seat by Bergennt-at- Arms Casson. Major Casson then re ported tho matter to the committee and on returning to the court room General Dick addressed the reporter: "Have you approached this witness while we wore nway?" "Yes. sir." "Well, sir, you are excused from any further sessions of this committee," said the chairman, nnd the reporter Immediately left the room. Then turning to the witness, who seemed on tho point of breaking down, (leneral Dick said: "Mr. Tyler, the committee appreci ates your franknets In answering questions nnd all your embarrassment tit this question, but It appears from your testimony that no severer test of hazing has been presented to this com mittee. AVhllo this committee cannot guarantee to prevent punishment. It Is not tho Intention of iho committee to secure punishment. "The object of the committee Is to secure evidence for presentation to congress with a view to preventing a recurrence of such practices. The committee feels that It must Insist that' you answer the question." The Truth at Last. Tyler iiitened intently to word uttered and when the every chalr- innn finished speaking, the witness In a faltering voice said: "Cadet Evans, who has been since expelled, nnd Cadet J. A. Barry, of tho present first class." Tho witness, in answer to some other questions, said that nothing had been done to force a man out of tho acad emy, but the "cutting" of a man seemed to have the desired effect. Judge Smith questioned tho witness at length on the cause of "calling out" of Cadet Boo. Tyler said that he una called out on account of refusing to walk his post properly and making an untruthful statement In reference to it. Mr. Smith read the copy of the report and statement which was In reference to relieving guard properly and the wit ness was mistaken as to the matter to which the report referred, "Do the upper classmen attempt to determine questions of veracity le tween cadet otlleers and fourth class men?" asked Mr. Smith. "Yes, sir." Congressman Drlggs, addressing tho witness, said: "Mr. Tyler, I want to exonerate you with every cadet, and I may be frank with you. This committee wants to know all about the Booz case, the Breth case and hazing. I will Insist on answers, nnd 1 want you and every cadet to know and understand that we are here to get the facts and that hazing must stop. AVo will shield nobody. Now, I wunt you to tell me of all tho cases of severe hazing." "Cadet Carpenter was so severely hazed that ho had to go to bed." said the witness. Looking over a list of the corps, the witness mentioned the names of Ca dets Shorldan, McArthur, Carpenter, Albert, Alvord, Atnnierman, J. B. A. Barry and C. B. Clark. The last throe are not now In the academy. "Who hazed McArthur?" "There wero two men, of whom Cadet Dockei y was one." Case of Convulsions. Tyler told of the hazing of Carpen ter, one of his classmates. Cadet Meyer, of the present first class, In terrupted the hazers and made them desist. Carpenter was put to bed, suf fering from muscular convulsions. Ho was nlso hysterical and delirious, but was all right In the morning. He was not attended by a physician. "Do the cadets not call for a physi cian when a man Is hazed Into con vulsions?" asked Mr. Drlggs. "I never knew of a doctor being called In any case." "What about McArthur?" "Ho waa the worst case, sir. He had convulsions and It took quite awhile to bring him mound. I saw him In bed, whimpering hysterically." The witness mentioned other cases, but could not remember the names of the hazers. In reply to the chairman, Tyler said that the class which came here In '89 suffered from more severe hazing than his class (the present third), to which Booz belonged. Since 1SD9 he said severe hazing had been done away with and theiv was no exercising now. COL. QUAY AT HARRISBURG.

Dy Itxcluitre'VTIrp from Thn Aaaoclateci rreav Faraman, France, Jan. 11. Tho pajn sengers ami crew of tho French mall steamship Itussle, which stranded ncaf here during a violent storm on Monw day, have been safely landed. Ono huin dred and two lives were saved. The lifeline which connected tha wrecked vessel with tho shore parted agnln yesterday afternoon, and -when night set In communication with tho Hussle was cut off. The last signalled message read as follows: "We have not a scrap of food left. Consternation prevails on board," The fishermen at onco made ttvo more plucky 'launches of their boat, but they were beaten back by thn waves, and when the Russia was last descried through tho gathering dark ness, those on board were apparently" trying to launch their only remaining: boat. The storm raged with renewed fury during the night, and only those ivho were compelled to do so stayed on tho beach, part of them huddlod beneath a tarpaulin nnd others sought refuge from the gale In the Faraman light house. In the early hours of the morning torches were lighted on the Russlc's bow and in response, to the signal the Carro fishermen made another effort to reach the wreck with their life boat. Again they wero tossed ashore, drenched to the skin nnd suffering from cold. A bonfire was built of wreckage on tho beach. At daybreak Ihe weather rwrrepttbly moderated, tho M?a became calmer and the wind shifted from east to north. At about fi.30 a. m., the Carro flsh eren ngaln put to sea. The spectators watched with fast-beating hearts as the boat disappeared through the waves. More thnn once It was be lieved to be engulfed, but the little craft rose gallantly on tho crests of the mis and gradually approached tho wreck Then a rope was thrown from the Rusr.Ie. The fishermen caught it and the life-boat wns noon nlongsld. Above the bowling wind, the cries tot jov from those on board were heard, re-echoed on the shore. Another iioat, manned by four men, then succeeded In reaching the wieck od vessel. A few minutes later the Carro life boat left the Hussle's side heavily la den. As she approached the shore tho occupnnts were seen to be women and one baby Tho enthusiasm was delirious. The spectators plunged Into tho sea. Soino dragged the lifeboat ashore and others lifted the women out of tho boat and carried them In their arms through the waves. One woman was clasped in the arms of her son, who had been waiting on shore since Monday. Sho swooned nnd had to bo carried to tho lighthouse on a stretcher hastily con structed from tho wrecknge nnd cov ered with blankets. The other women collapsed with fatigue, cold nnd want of food. Their hnggard faces and trembling limbs told of their awful xperlences. Passengers at Marseilles. Marseilles, Jan. 11.

They were loudly cheered ns they left the train and many touching scenes ensued when tho suf ferers met their relatives.
