JDBC: Problem with execution of SQL Statement

Hello,
A simple JDBC program is given below:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class TestClass {

    public static void main(String args[]){
        try {
            Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
            String url= "jdbc:oracle:thin:@IISSERVER:1521:ORACLE";
            Connection connection =
DriverManager.getConnection(url,"scott","tiger");
            Statement statement;
            ResultSet resultSet;
            statement = connection.createStatement();
            String query = "INSERT INTO RESULT "+
                    "VALUES("+
                    "4,'IT-04-01','','SHINDE
SAMEER',54,55,40,58,52,34,40,43,30,26,'SECOND CLASS'"+
                    ");";
            System.out.println(query);
            resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);

        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
   }
}

The variable query holds the value:
INSERT INTO RESULT VALUES(4,'IT-04-01','','SHINDE
SAMEER',54,55,40,58,52,34,40,43,30,26,'SECOND CLASS');

I can run this statement in SQl Plus and get the record inserted into
the table.
But this is not the case with program. The Oracle driver loads and I
get a SQLException

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character

What may be the problem?
Please help.
