See previous answer: When_did_jrotc_start It was started by an act of Congress, originally in 1916. Details about the passage of the act is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Act_of_1916 It would seem that the answer to the question is more of a "why was it founded", rather than by whom, though Wikipedia in the article cited above does say, "Its chief proponent was James Hay of Virginia, the chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs." It would be overreaching to claim that James Hay was the founder of the JROTC, though this might be the closest to an answer to a strict reading of the question.
