Stephenson, G. R. (1967). Cultural acquisition of a specific learned response among rhesus monkeys. In: Starek, D., Schneider, R., and Kuhn, H. J. (eds.), Progress in Primatology, Stuttgart: Fischer, pp. 279-288.
It’s on scribd here. It’s rather different from the urban legend version, and crucially does not contain the step of monkeys who have never experienced the hosing (actually an air blast) stopping the new monkey from reaching for the banana (actually just described as “an object”).
The original citation seems to be this:
