It wasn't hearsay. For one thing, Kerry himself admitted to wrongdoing. For another, no- one was on trial. Finally, the remarks were confessional in nature. Had they been made as a deathbed confession they might well have been admissable in court. If Kerry was repeating to congress what others said , it would be hear say. Those that actually carried out the deeds would have to testify before congress under oath before it would be considered testimony and then it would have to be investigated. Anybody at that Winter Soldier meeting could get up and say anything they wanted to. What Kerry did was spread rumors and for all anybody knows lies about his comrades and the military and that is what upset so many.
