The Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy may, in his discretion and with the approval of the Secretary of the Navy, cause any midshipman in the said academy to be tried by court martial for the offence of hazing, as provided by the act approved June 23, 1874, and such court martial, upon conviction, may sentence such midshipman to any punishment authorized by the said act or by the act approved March 3, 1903, or authorized for any violation or breach of the rules of the said academy by the said rules, or, in cases of brutal or cruel hazing may, in addition to dismissal, sentence such midshipman to imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year: Provided, That such midshipman shall not be confined in a military or naval prison or elsewhere with men who have been convicted of crimes or misdemeanors; and such finding and sentence shall be subject to review by the convening authority and by the Secretary of the Navy, as in the cases of other courts martial.

sentence of a court martial (if, by existing law, such sentence would be now necessary for such punishment) or punished more severely than is now by law allowed for any offence heretofore committed: Provided, That any midshipman now in said naval academy may waive his right to trial by court martial under existing law for any offence of hazing heretofore committed and may accept punishment under the provisions of Section 2 of this act.
