Inquiry for West Pointers.

A court of Inquiry, consisting of Captain James K. Thompson of the Fifteenth infantry, Captain Edward Anderson of the Seventh cavalry and Captain William Lassiter of the First artillery, began the investigation at West Point of a charge of breach of discipline on the part of several cadets of the military academy. The cadets became disgruntled over the action of Colonel Mills, the superintendent, in punishing one of their number, Cadet Ralston, for his failure to report a breach of discipline in the mess halL a few nights ago. The cadets are said to be almost in a state of insubordination.
