Book Description
Excerpt from An Expose of Facts, Concerning Recent Transactions, Relating to the Corps of Cadets of the United States' Military Academy, at West-Point, New-York It may be additionally observed, that the Committee were charged by major Thayer, with disobedience Of orders; the major specifying that they did not comply with an order, coming, in fact, through an Unofficial and illegal medium. The case stands thus: Major Thayer alledges that he gave Cadet Ragland an Order for Mess. Loring, Fair fax, Holmes, and Vining; directing them not to hand him, (major T.) a second communication, a second time. Here is an error both in the Charge, and in the application of the supposed order. Mr. Ragland according to military usage and law, could not communicate an order; and, should he have transmitted one to 'mess. Loring, &c. They were not round To obey; because Mr. Ragland had not any command, directfor implied, over them. If Mr. Ragland, therefore, had given the order, Mess. Loring, could not have been punished for its disobedience. But Mr. Ragland most solemnly declares that HE never received, nor communicated such AN order.
