You have too many parentheses in your code. The error is coming
because of the ``((nextInt "dummy") 0)'' line where you are trying to
call an integer (the result of calling nextInt on "dummy") as a
function.

I don't know what exactly you are trying to achieve here, but assuming
that you want n consecutive pseudo-random integers, I would write it
like this -

(let [rnd (java.util.Random.)
       next-int #(.nextInt rnd)]
  (repeatedly 10 next-int)) ; substitute 10 with desired number
