Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner recently testified in front of the New York State Assembly regarding its Burgess Corps of Albany, alleging that it is being systematically attacked by a “National Guard Ring.” He was supported by several letters from men who had been with the corps for years who joined when there was better martial spirit, and state that the dues paid for membership were not a form of political graft. New York Adjutant General William Verbeck opposed Gardiner, and hopes to disband the Corps, as it is largely useless and a joke.
