Today tho story of tho flht between
Keller and lioox In Port l'liuum, on tho
Auxust fi, 1S5S. was told by Keller him
self, aa well an by some of the seconds and
sontlncla. who were posted to watch for
offlccra who mlchl Interfere. A letter was
read In court from iter. Dr. Allison of
Ilrlstol, Va. It wnn written In reply to tho
one iiubllshcvl from Cadet llurnctt, presi
dent of tho Younj; Men's Christian associa
tion, at the academy. Dr. Allison says that
lloox waa not a man to rend novels hidden
in n, bible.
Tho flrst witness culled was William I.
(luthric of Missouri, a cadet of tho first
cla.Hr. When asked If he know Ilooa ho
replied: "I know him just aa any upper
class man would know a lower class man."
lie was not At tho flfjlit, but saw Uooz
shortly after It and noticed that ono of
his eyes wua blackened. lie also knew
Cadet Ilrrth, who waa his classmate, and
was poslthc that llreth hud never been
placed In a strulKhtJackct. Such a thins
would bo so very unusual that If It wore
dona to anyone on tho post tho witness
would certainly have known of It.

of Kcller'n seconds In his flsht with Ilooz.
said Ilooz ran and was Htruck saverul
tlmis in tho bark. In tho Hcconil round
Ilooz lay down nnd rofuscil to Ret up.
Cadet William C. Caples of Missouri said
ho had given hot sauco to several cadotH,
but not mora than four or ilvo drops to
any one.
Lieutenant Frank W. Coc, Instructor in
mathematics In tho military nendemy, tcstl
flcxl that Cadet Uooz was deficient In his
mathematics nnd never could havo pasr.ed
tho examination. Ho was mentally far
below tho Btnndard required by tho mili
tary ncademy.
Mint AVJio Fought Trltli llnnx.
Cailot Frank Keller, who had tho light
with Ilooz, said:
"1 was chosen by a commltteo of tny clnss
to "call out" Cadet Ilooz becnuso he dis
obeyed tho orders of tho corporal of the
guard and mado insolent romarks to un
upper class man. 1 was told to weigh in
nnd I turned 150 pounds. Ilooz was 132
pounds, llo wan taller than I and had n
loncer reach.
"Wo stripped to tho waist and my sec
onds told mo I had a tough customer to
meet and they teld mo to do my best. For
tho flrst thirty Eecnnds after tho call of
time Uooz showed a llttlo fight, as ho
truck mo a couple ot times about tho
ahouldors. I struck him under tho left
eye, cutting It slightly. After this ho
turned his back nnd kept running away. I
frequently told him to face mo or I would
hit lUm In tho back. I did hit him a
couple of blows under tho right arm.
"In the second round I thought ho was
going to put up a fight after all, but ha
Immediately begnn running ngaln. 1 struck
him In tho right eye and thon on tho
stomach. Ho went down altogether, al
though tho blow was not a knockdown
nor a knockout blow. Ho lny on tho
ground and was counted out.
"I went up to him and shook hands. I
said I hoped ho had no ill-feeling toward
mc. Ho said 'No,' nnd smiled."
"Did you hit him any blows In the region
of tho heart?" asked Oenurul Clou's.'
"No, air, I did not."
When questioned ns to whether ho had
hazed lower classmen or given them "hell
sauco" Keller said "no," but ho admitted
having "braced" a few.
Cndet Ralph Haydcn of Now York, ono
of tho sentinels at tho fight, said Ilooz
was not hit hard enough to knock him
down and that all through ho acted cow
ardly. Ilooz lay on tho ground ami cried.

Cadet W. T. Ilottlson of Kentucky told
of ono occasion when Ilooz was on ucntlncl
duty at tho rear of Uottlson's tent,
ho spoke to Ilooz, who was standing ut
one end ot the post, and told lilm to patrol
his post properly.
"llnd you nny right," nsltcd (leneral
Ilrooke, "to glvo him any such Instruc

"No, not ofllclnlly," replied the witness,
"but I felt I hnd a right to glvo somo In

wrong."
"Was It not a breach of military disci

duty?"
"It was."
"And ns a result of that breach Mr. Uooz
was called nut to fight?"
"Yes. sir."

sharply.
Cadet (Icorgo H, Spauldlng of Michigan,
who acted ns timekeeper nt tho fight, said
Ilooz was not sovercly Injured uud walked
nil right from Fort i'utiium to camp, over
thrco-quartcrs of u mile. Ho positively
denied evor having hazed Ilooz,

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your let
ter. It Is my desire to say Unit your letter
Is n confirmation, In not a few particulars,
of ray frlond Oscar's oxpt-rlences. Your
surprise that 11 Christian minister should
mitku statements of 11 certain kind 1 cannot
help. It Is u Christian mlnlJter's duly tu
tell tho truth. I fwl quite suro that tho
congressional commltteu of Investigation
will discover that no untenable position bus
been taken by .Mr. Ilooz 1 friends. Your
letter to mo Is n most Interesting commu
nication. In the fiico of the sweeping and
other kinds of statements by Colonel Mills.
Ho denies tho "hazing" nnd thu presence
of "tabasco sauce" at West Point. You do
not. You admit both, but to minimize tho
effects on tho theory of "exoneration,"
ete., I am glad to havo had your letter, 11a
It Is likely to bo helpful to us In more ways
than one. I can understand, of course, how
n.iturul It Is for you young men to see. no
defectH In your ulmu mater, since you huvo
crossed tho plebo rublcnn.
Tho frlcncU of Oscar know that ho was
truthful. Ills statements are to them
prima facie ovldence. What he stated In
tho lon letter ho wrote home, when ho
pleaded to be allowed to limv tho ncademy,
Is enough. Only yesterday I had tho sad
privilege of perusing Its contents. I nm
sorry you mention that "novel" theory
The cadet who told you that made n state
ment that your Christian gruco ami com
mon sense ought to have tnken cum griiio

man. ilost slncemly yours.

The letter was read and copied, but not

Corporal Did 'nt Hrport linos.
Cadet Arthur Williams of Indiana, who
wns corporal of the guard on tho night
that llettlnson spoke to Ilooz, testified that
ho was Informed of tho defective manner
In which the former cndet wns patrollng
his post. Williams went to him and in
structed him how to patrol tho post prop
erly, und did not report him. Williams
paid Cadet llreth was seen at West Point
somo months after leaving tho acudemy
nnd that ho wus looking very well and
seemingly in good health.
Wilbur Welling, a cadot from Mississippi,
wus examined, but nothing now waa de
veloped. Cadet Joseph Farnsworth Harris ot the
District of Columbia, who was ono of
Keller's seconds In tho tight, gavu rather
II new version ot tho encounter, ns ho Bald
It lasted thrco rounds. Ho said Ilooz ran
away from his opponent and waa not
knocked out.
Cadet James Prentlco ot Now York said
that ono day Ilooz camo into his tent and
asked if ho could not llo down. Ho told
Prentlco that ho was afraid hu had heart
dlscaso and Prentlco advised him to re
sign. Ilooz suffered from soro feet and
witness gave him powders to uho on them.
Ho saw Ilooz read his blblo and ono day
saw htm reading a small book which bo
held lnsldo ot his bible. Ho could not any
what kind ot a book it was. Prentlco saw
Ilooz braced ono night In tho camp. Ilooz
seemed to havo a weak back.
Cadet Kdward II. Dearmond ot Missouri,
who acted as a senttnol ut tho fight, said
ho euw it all and that Ilooz got a black
eye. Ho never know Ilooz to be required
to tako popper sauce.
"Did you over requlro nnyono to ako
this hot snuco?" asked General Clous.
"Yes, sir, I gavo four drops on a spoon
to Cadet John C. Pcgnun and tho sama

Cadot I. Dean of Texas, who, according
to a previous witness, gavo hot sauco to

said Dooz was not forced to tako the f.iuco.
It Is well known among West Pointers
that Dean, when a fourth class man, fought
flft-olght rounds with an upporclass man

CRAMP APPROVES HANNA BILL
Funioim Nhliliulltlr TellM luterntate
Cum ill I mil on that Proponed Huh
Hldy In About lllnht.
PUILADKU'HIA, Doc. 21. Charles H.
Crump, head ot tho Crump Shipbuilding
company, appeared before tho Industrial
commission today and gavo testimony re
garding marine architecture.
Mr. Farquhur ot tho commission wanted
to know why it la that American money
docs not sock investment in Atlantic and
trunsutlauttc trade.
"Tho first reason," Mr. Cramp replied,
"Is that It does not pay, and tho second
thnt tbo public has not been educated to
tho business. A person cannot muko monoy
unless ho has been educated in tho uso
of it."
Mr. Farquhar asked If it was true, as re
ported, that tho increased cost ot building
a ship In this country over that of Anglo
vessels was tbo reuson for tho luck in
American vessels.
Mr. Cramp said tho flrst cost of a ship
was scarcely worth consideration, but that
tho cost of operating tho vessel, which was
11 daily expenditure, wus nu important item.
Continuing, Mr. Crump nsscrted that some
Americans uro buying castotf Ilrltlsh tbipn
at a bargain und nru denouncing tho sub
sidy hill becauso they will not benefit by It.
Mr. Cramp said tho coat mI operating for
eign vessels Is less than that of American
ships, nnd Arnerlcau people acquainted with
thu business can operato ships it they nru
given tho difference.
"I am in favor of tho subsidy bill," said
Mr. Cramp. "Tho shlpjjrds In either
Amorlca or Hngland cannot build ships
oiioiigh to supply tho demand. This being
tho ense, these vessels bclug needed, I think
If wo can build mure of our own by the
introduction of free ships we should do It.
Tho merchant mnrluo cannot bo rehabili
tated without a subsidy."
Mr. Crump said iio thought tho subsidy
named In tho Hnnna bill was "about right."
Ho said also that thero Boomed to bo some
apprehension that only tho big lines,
notably the International Navigation com
pany, would secure tho bulk of tho subsidy.
This Idea, ho asserted, wus erroneous be
cause tho largo freight ships will secure u
considerable portion of It.
A reaBon why this country should have
more ships, Mr. Cramp snld, Is the steadily
decreasing coal supply of Uurope. Kventu
nlly, ho suld. nil Europe will comu to this
country for coal.
Mr. Cramp said: "(Ircat Hrltaln'a source
of wealth Is its shipbuilding In the vessels
It builds for other countries. The ship
building Interests there nre nsslsted by
tho government, either directly or Indi
rectly. I want to compete with England."
Mr. Crump spokn of the enormous profit
on armor plate. In building war ships for
Itusslu, ho Bald, his company was com
pelled to pay the full rule of J00O a ton to
Camcglo for armor. This, he Bald, was
ouo-thlrd tho coat of ttyc ship.
"If I could get tho profit on nrmor plate,"
declared Mr. Cramp, "I would build a war
ship at cost."
"At what price could armor pinto be
furnished to tho government and givo tho
producer n fair profit?" inquired Mr. Ken
nedy. "I do not know," was tho response. "I
would not Uko to say,"
