And operator in Selenium findByXpath is not working

This works fine

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='dummyid' or @class='man-add']"));

But and operator is not working.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='dummyid' and @class='man-add']"));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[@id='dummyid' | @class='man-add']"));

You can't use | for a logical-or, you need to use or. You can indeed use and for logical-and (but of course not &). You didn't supply the HTML you're trying to run this against, so we can only guess, but based on experience I'd assume the class attribute has more than just man-add in it. If so, you want something more like //span[@id='dummyid' and contains(@class, 'man-add')].
