The problem is the 'cat' enclosing the 'print'; just get rid of the
'cat' -- that is what is causing the extra output

I think that what Peng was trying to do was print it without the column and row names

 mat <-  matrix(1:25,5,5)
 colnames(mat) <- rownames(mat) <- rep("",5)
 print(mat)
1 6 11 16 21
 2  7 12 17 22
 3  8 13 18 23
 4  9 14 19 24
 5 10 15 20 25
