First.—For unofficer-like and improper conduct, in disobeying my orders, on the parade of the thirteenth June inst. in refusing to furnish the Adjutant a file of men from the platoon you commanded. Second.—For unofficer-like and improper conduct, in endeavouring to resist that order by force…Thitd.—For unofficer-like and improper conduct, in ordering your men to charge bayonets on Corporal Floyd Smith."
