To-day a member of Company F is “drummed out of the regiment”
per verdict of Court Martial. Two single lines were formed facing inward, with
a space between of about thirty feet. The disgraced soldier was marched along
between the two lines, accompanied by two drummers, who kept up a terribly
discordant drumming, while the men kept up a hooting and hissing.
