HAZING REVIVED AT FREIGHT DEPOT Although hazing has been stopped at most of the colleges, It came out In the recorder’s court Thursday that It la a practice still continued at the.Geor gia railway freight depot. Cheater Cole told about It and how new employees are forced to do various stunts Ly the older freight handlers. Chester resist ed the Initiation, drew a revolver and compelled his tormentors to ''run like atrlped apes," as he expressed It. He was arrested for carrying concealed weapons and bound over on that charge. His defense was that It was only a cap pistol, but Special Officer Hamilton produced a leaden pellet that he dug out of the floor, and the record er decided it did not come from a pistol of the toy variety. Nobody accused Cole of trying to shoot anybody. The witnesses testified that he shot Into the floor, and that they then gave up the Idea of hazing. Cole told a vivid story of what he had heard about the hazing of other negroes. He safd they were forced to eat a quart of oats without taklnc a drink of water, and every time they stopped eating the other employees would whack them with barret staves. Sometimes, ho said, the menu won changed to uncrackedf corn, and once a man was compelled to eal a quantity of hay and sawdust. The witnesses did not deny his story. Crawford Jackson Leavts. Rev.
