Cadet Joseph Barnes of the District-of Co lumbia,' who was one of Cadet Keller's seconds, .and who seems to have mon knowledge of the code of the, eorps in regara to. nstic arguments . than any otner caaet at tne west Point academy, continued his testimony before the con gressional investigating committee to day. Mr. Driggs of Brooklyn took the wit ness in hand today, and asked him minutely about the Keller-Booz fight. While listening to Barnes' description of the affair the Brooklyn congressman interrupted the witness and asked him: "Under your infamous and unmanly code of fighting is it not understood that an upper class man is selected es pecially for the purpose of administer ing a sound drubbing to the fourth class man .who is called out?" ''Yes. sir, it is understood when a fourth: class man is called out that he is to be whipped." - "Oh, so that's the code," said Mr. Driggs,. as he shook his finger at the witness, while he arose from his seat. v Then, leaning toward the witness he shouted: "Young man, this dishonorable prac tice you. have discovered would not be tolerated in any athletic club in the world. The upper class man who is a party to the calling out of a fourth class man for the purpose of having him thrashed is a coward, and the fourth class man who is beaten is nothing else but a hero. "This morning I received four letters, from Kansas, Massachusetts, New York and Brooklyn, in all of which the mode of fighting and hazing f here is called brutal bullyism.
