Excerpt from The Truth About the Schley Case This is true, notwithstanding the fact that he has not been formally accused or tried. As a matter of form, he has not been on trial at all. Certain reflections upon him having appeared in a published book, he asked the Navy Department to convene a court of inquiry composed of his brother officers. This court could not punish him. They could only present their findings, their opinion. Actually, however, he was on trial. His reputation as a naval officer was at stake. He had appealed to his brothers-in-arms for vindication, and they had the power to inflict the direst punishment, an adverse finding. To one member of the court as it was at first constituted lie offered objections, which were sustained, and that member was excused from further service. With the remaining members of the court - Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay - Admiral Schley was satisfied. He recognized in them naval officers of long and distinguished careers, and men of high and just character. Into their hands he willingly committed his cause. This court was in session many weeks. It had before it all the records of the Navy Department that could throw any light upon the subject. It called a great number of witnesses. Naval officers were brought from all parts of the world. Some of them testified against the applicant, some of them in his favor, and the testimony of many was neutral. The Government paid all the expenses. What was it the court was instructed to inquire into? The Secretary of the Navy issued to the court what is called a precept. It was a statement of the matters which the court was charged with investigating. But the court was not limited to the matters set forth in the precept. It was authorized to go into any matters connected with what is known as the Santiago campaign and battle. As a matter of fact, the court did not shut out anything whatever, and did inquire into everything, with the single exception that it refused over and over again to go into anything involving Admiral Sampson. The court categorically ruled that that officer's interests, were not involved - that it was inquiring info Admiral Schley and not into Admiral Sampson. It therefore refused to hear any testimony as to Admiral Sampson's conduct, save the orders which he sent to Admiral Schley and which were received by that officer, then a Commodore.
