The author evaluates Barnes' double zeta function at the negative integers in two ways, one in terms of Bernoulli numbers, and another as a finite sum of Hurwitz zeta functions. Equating these expressions leads to a new and interesting proof of the reviewer's reciprocity law for generalized Dedekind sums. More general results are indicated as being obtainable from Barnes' multiple zeta functions.
