The New York Tribune posted this blurb sometime prior to June 4, 1898:
An Unfortunate Naval Class.
The fact has been noted that six members of the class of ['95] of the Naval academy have met with serious misfortunes since this war began, and the names of five of them begin with B. It was known as "the B class," because the names of so many of the boys began with that letter: Brumby, Baldwin, Butler, Barnes, Breckinridge, Bennett, Bostwick, Boyd, Bagley and Bose. Bagley was killed on the Winslow; Boyd disabled the torpedo boat Cushing and had to come home; Breckinridge was swept overboard from the Cushing and was drowned; Bostwick had his chest caved in while on the Ericsson, and is now in a hospital; Baldwin was knocked down an open hatchway and had his ribs broken, and Merrit, of the same class, went down with the Maine.
