Comparable interface depends upon size?

I was working on Comparable interface and found that it is throwing IllegalArgumentException when i put size=50 in the program below and is working fine when i put size =5.

    public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int size = 50;
        Test compareTest = new Test();
        compareTest.test(size);
    }

    public void test(int size) {
        List<TestObject> requests = new ArrayList<TestObject>();
        for (int index = 0; index < size; index++) {
            TestObject request = new TestObject();
            request.value = index;
            requests.add(request);
        }
        Collections.sort(requests);
    }

}

class TestObject implements Comparable<TestObject> {
    public int value;

    public int compareTo(TestObject req) {
        if (value % 3 == 0) {
            return -1;
        } else if (value % 3 == 1) {
            return 0;
        }

        return 1;
    }
}

I am not sure about the root cause of this problem, can some one help me on this.

Exception stack trace is given below.
