He's wearing a kepi cap with an unknown badge. It's a small, poorly cut or damaged photo on very thin paper. The backdrop appears to be too modest for a cadets studio photo.

Probably taken by a traveling photographer. Could this be an early paper photo from the Civil War era? Please message me if you can help with identification. Please see my photos for these details and size.
