WEST POINT, N.Y. — A West Point cadet accused of sexually assaulting a fellow cadet he was dating was described by his accuser at his court-martial on Wednesday as having an explosive side to his personality.
Benjamin O. Davis Jr. entered West Point in 1932 as its only black cadet and spent the next four years shunned. He roomed alone, and no one befriended him. The future Tuskegee Airman and trailblazing Air Force general later said he was "an invisible man."
