Our main theorem states that the natural map H_4(GL_3(F), k) --> H_4(GL_4(F), k) is injective where k is a field with char(k) \neq 2, 3. For algebraically closed field F, we prove a better result, namely, H_4(GL_3(F), Z) --> H_4(GL_4(F), Z) is injective. We will prove a similar result replacing GL by SL. This is used to investigate the indecomposable part of the K-group K_4(F). %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0605722v1
