Picture section of NYT on Dec 7, 1913, page 9 memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/np_item.pl?collection=sgproto&... or memory.loc.gov/service/sgp/sgpnyt/1913/191312/19131207/00... described this as "the most spectacular event New York ever saw." The "army mule" picture is part of the NYT spread.

Wystan said:
LOC -- you have mis-titled the photo "Capt. Hodge," but his name was Hoge, as Bain gives it.

TVL1970: Thank you for the information on Capt. Hoge. Wystan--We appreciate the connection of this image to the additional photos.

Finally solved the mystery of "Byrne" in the photo. He is Louis T. Byrne (USMA Class of 1914), younger brother of Eugene A. Byrne. USMA Cadet Eugene A. Byrne died as a result of a broken back and paralysis he sustained in an October 1909 football game between West Point and Harvard. Army canceled the remainder of its 1909 football season after Cadet Byrne's death.
