Just now tbe Soldiers' Home is
the objective point toward wbicb tbe
equipages of oar fashionable people
are turned, and a lovelier spot il
woald be difficult to concieve of ; tbe
buildings arejartistic in deeign.elegant
in Snisb. Besides tbe quarters for
tbe old veterans, there are eight or
ten commodious residences tor tbe
officers and a hospital considered in
its modern improvements, tbe finest
in America. Tbe large grounds are
laid out in rare taste, and abound in
gentle ondulatiag meadows, dense
groves and crystal lakes. These laut
are spanned by rustic bridges, made
by tbe old soldiers. There are foun
tains and groups of ornatSental shrub
bery, and in season peterres of gajly
colored flowers and a score of magno
lia tress, the languid odor from whose
creamy cups fills tbe air.
During the hot summer months
one of these elegant cottage is occu
pied by the Secretary of War and
President. Abraham Liucola occu
pied this same cottage during tbe
trying times of tbe late rebellion and
I believe presidents before him did
the same. Where tbey got tbe au
thority to live tbere 1 doo'i know.
The Soldiers' Home people have
complained so much about their
bad treatment that Senator Carpen
ter proposes to investigate it. but I
expect it will turn out like all tbe
other investigations ordered by Con
gress. When J be officers get the? in- j
vestigating committee in their
clutches out tbere it will be fixed in
short order A few bottles of wiue
will dj tbe business and everything
will be grand aod beautiful and that
will be tbe last beard of tbe investi
gation until some "greenborn" con
gressman gets np another investiga
tion wbicb will pan out as before.
There seems to be no jumice aoy
where for tbe private soldier. At
this same institution last winter the
commander or Governor wanted to
take tbe pension arrears away from
tbe old inmates and apply .he
amount to the funds of the Home
when that fund now I am told
amounts to millions. These officers
would have carried the day bad it
not been for Mrs. Belle Lock cook,
our able female lawyer, ia Washing
ton, wbo went to law about the mat
ter in behalf of several of tbe in
mates, carried the case to the su
preme court of the United States
where she got such a decision in fa
vor of tbe old defenders that tbe pen
sions were paid to them.
This institution is supported by tbe
enlisted men of tbe army, twelve aod
a half cents being deducted from eacb
mans salary per month, and tbere
ought to be no reason why it should
not be conducted in strict coo
formity to tbe object for which it was
founded, and its income ebonld not
be dissipated in providing a summer
residence for tbe President and bis
family and soft places for iufluemial
army officers.
In tbe case of tbe colored cadet
Wbittaker, who was bo brutally mu
tilated last week at West Point.
Secretary Kamsay, has directed Gen
Scbofield to make tbe most thorough
investigation of the matter and re
port full particulars to him. The
news of Wbittaker loosing bis ears
made tbe Democrats laugh and feel
good over "getting rid of tbe nigger,"
while amongst the Republicans tbo
feeling ran high for abolishing the
institution. There is a spirit lurking
in the institution which brukeout
twenty years ago in rebellion against
the Government, and ia defense of
tbe institution of slavery aod now
that slavery has been abolished tbe
cadets take their Southern pet-spue
out on the poor helpless colored man
who is there to be educated by tbe
same government that some of tbem
tried to destroy.
This case was sot hazing as that
word is understood, but regular ku
kluxism. A good deal has been said
about this occurrence in and about
Congress daring the week and has
directed attention to hazing in our
academies. Nme hold that tbis
practice is no worse at West Poiot
or Annapolis, than at tbe colleges
They are wrong ; tbere is hazing ai
tbe colleges, but the Sophomore
class baa not the facilities for indulg
ing in the pass time that are posse
ed by third classmen at Annapolis
and West Point Tbe third claxs in
above the newcomer, tbe "pleb'' or
"youngster," and exercises a cmaio
sort of supervision over him. HeU
made superintendent of the fourth
class floor. As he has jast come into
a little authority be delights to eier
cise it. "Tbe "Pleb" is "spotted" or
reported for everything. He is not
spoken to like a gentleman, but more
like a dog. He has to put a "sir" af
ter every answer, to an upper class
man. He must stand np and uke
off his bat when one of these augunt
and important individuals enters bis
room. He must stand and have bis
looks, figure and his name made fun
m a . . . .
oi pernapB oy a young stripling a
foot shorter than him. The language
used is often insulting, but it is s 1
dom that tbe "pleb" dares to resem
it. A barer generally tries to be
funny. If he happens to get off
something that approaches wit and
tbe yougster smiles be is then pitch
ed into, for daring to laugh at an up
per classman. This ia tbe milder
form of hazing, "it is called running "
To most young men it ia more gall
ing than "hazing proper." The latter
affects tbe body while tbe former
consists in slurs and personal abuse.
On drill the yonngster ia yelled at
opon every opportunity by the cadet
officers, and sneering remarks are
made alond at tbe manner in wbicb
he conducts himselL At a general
thing none butjtbird clamtn are sup
posed!to baze ; bat all those of tbe op
per classes combine to make tbe ne
cadet aa uncomfortable as possible
Tbere are different forma of hazing.
Tbe "phantom drill," one that is al
ways practiced more or less every
year, is the "Bhirt-tail parade." Af
ter taps, when everybody is supposed
to be in bed, a few choice spirits ol
tbe third class go to tbe floor where
tbepleba are in bed They torn
tbem out and make each one arm
himself with a broom. Nigh clothes
re all that are worn. The plebs are
organized into companies and nnder
tbe dim light in tbe corridor, are
drilled in all tbeir phantom-like pict
uresqueness. The wardrobes in tbe
cadets' rooms are very narrow ; the
youocrfters are made to climb tbem
verv Quicklr. Often the wardrobes
fall on them.
At Annapolis a sheet is stretched
cross tbe wardrobes, aod tbe room
mates are made to go through tbe
evolaiion of loosing, reefing and furl
ing sail. Tbey often get dasty, and,
wbatis worse, are often kept in their
cramped position on top of the ward
robe until their limbs acbe. Tbey
are made to get on the table, dance
and t-ing; no matter whether they
can dance or siog, they have to go
throagh the motions.
A favorite paestime for the festive
bazer is to make one yoangster get
iu tbe wardrobe to tiog while anoth
er acts as if he was turuiog tbe crank
of a baud organ. Whenever a new
tuue is wanted tbe outside man tap
on tbe wardrobe and the 6inger
sings him another lay. The mat
raises are taken from the beds in
several rooms and piled op around a
few selections of the genus blebo un
til tbe hollow colamn reached near
tbe ceiling. Into tbe top of tbis wa
ter is poured upon tbe recambent
youngster until the bazer gets tired
Sometime but not often, a particular
cheeky young man, is made to eat
soap Frequently he is shaved with
a blunt piece of tin, common aoap be
ing used for a lather, and a wbisp
broom far a brush. If a youngster
gets to exhibiting to much "gall" and
evinces a determination not to sub
mit to his many persecutions, he is
taken into a dark room where some
twenty to thirty upper classmen are
assembled. Tbe operation of "pass
ing around" is then carried out. This
consists in one man giving the rebel
lion pleb a puuch in tbe ribi, knock
ing him to tbe next manon tbe right
lie is carried around tbe circle until
be either irives in or becomes exhaus
ted. This treatment is knocn to
bring tbe most cheeky youngster to
a proper sense of wbst. ii due by bim
to tbe apper classmed
Frequently twenty or thirty plebs
are gotten into a room, seated io
cbftir-. Tbe most .religious one thai
can be fouud is made to take tbe
desk and preach u sermon from a
text in the Bible His audience at
proper intervals 6ays "amen." He
theu calls on a brother for "prajer."
Tbe prayer baa to be forth coming
luuog men are made to sit on
tbeir buds and witb a broom pretend
to ro until exhausted. Tying plebs
up in a bbeet and banging tbem out
the windows, is not as common now
as it used to be. Cases are frequent
however, of tying tbem in their beds
on their buck a and leaving tbem
there. Running a piece of rope into
a rojm over tbe transom, after taps,
and then makiog it fast to tbe feet
of the pleb, is common. Tbe young
ster is sud jenly awakened by feeling
himself drawn out of bed. He is
pulled up by bis feet to tbe transom
and lowered again. These are sotre
ji toe many wavs mat tne pieo is
muds to feel tbat he is to be obedient
and servile to his uppers.
According to tbe custom among
the cadets it will be nearly impossible
to discjver the guilty ones unless
some evideoce other than would
come from a cadet can be deduced
It is the rule never to "give away
anotber man." Tbe brutality of tbis
la?t instance of "hazing" (kukluxing
is a better name as I feel sure some
rebels did it) reflects upon tbe whole
crpa of cadets. It is hoped here
that this may assist in de'ecting the
perpetrators The mutilation ot
Wbittaker surpasses anything tbat
has ever been done at either West
Point or Annapolis, in tbe way of
haziog It is djubiful however, if
this was a case of hazing. It was
war on the cadet on account of bis
color. Three cadets have entered
West Point who were colored One
of tbem Lieutenant Flipper, now of
the 10th cavalry, graduated. The
other was unable to go through tbe
course, and cadet Wbittaker is tbe
last. Two colored cadets have en
tered Auaapolis one from South Car
olina, Congers, and tbo otner from
Mississippi, Biker. Neither of tbem
were able to get out of tbe fourth
class. Tbe lot of tbe colored cadet
in neither institution has been a hap
py one. No oue ever spoke to tbem
unless wbile oo duty. Tbey lived
lives of solitude. Tney were amongst
hundreds but knew no one They
have been persecuted in buudrt-d-i of
ways. It a cadet saw fit to speak to
oue of tbem be was immediately seut
to Coventry and put ia the same cate
gory with the "moke."
Tbe practice of hazing at tbe Na
val aud Military iusiuuiioos ia as
old as tbe institutions themselves.
For ciaoy years no attempts at break
ing it up were made. Latterly, how
ever, tbe authorities have tried to
put a stop to it. Tbe worst features
of the practice have, to a considera
ble extent beeu eradicated, but the
custom will never be wiped out' Tbe
new cadet ia led to expect a hazing,
and the ueit year a ben bis turn
comes to be i be individual wno is to
have tbe fun, be almost invariably
avails hinself of it. Tbe cause tbat
has done more than auytbiug else to
keep up tbe custom is the actions ot
members of CjngreeS. Ouly the
more flragrant cates of baziug cjuib
to tbe attention of tbe academy au
thorities. Tbe guilty cadets are tri
ed and dismissed. Tbey come to
Washington, go to tbeir congressman,
aud get "political influence" at work.
Tbey generally succeed io getting re
instated. Tbe cadets know tii;
therefore, the most active haters a'e
those that bave tbe most political u
fluence. A young man, standing at
tuber West PoiQj or Aanapjiis, is
among his classmates gauged to some
rxient by the amount of "political in
fluence" be can bring to bear. Tbe
reinstatement of dismissed cxdets be
came so common at Annapolis that
in 1871 a bill was passed forever de
barring a cadet dismissed for hazing,
from agaia eotering tbe Academy.
Tbis bill has had a wholesome effect.
At West Point, tbe case ia different.
About a year ago six cadets were
dismissed for flagrant violation ot
tbe regulations of the academy
against hazing. All but one of
tbem were reinstated through tbe in
fluence of Congress. Until tbis is
stopped, hazing will thrive at West
Point.
