Public concern about disciplinary methods in the federal navy first manifested itself in 1799 when Seaman Neal Harvey was executed for cowardice on board the frigate Constellation under Captain Thomas Truxtun.
Harvey had deserted his post, apparently in panic, during the engagement with the French frigate L'Insurgente and was killed by his division officer, Lieutenant Andrew Sterett.
The incident became known after the arrival of Truxtun with his prize in Philadelphia, and a certain amount of indignation arose in the anti-federalist press, which was hostile to the navy generally and opposed to the Quasi-War policy of John Adams's administration.
