Since you wanted to know how to 'call' the focusout event handler, here you go:

$('tr #edituser').focusin(function() {
    var prev_uname = $(this).text();
    $('tr #edituser').trigger('focusout');
});

$('tr #editUser').focusout(function() {
   alert();        
});

From the jQuery documentation of the .trigger() function.

Execute all handlers and behaviors attached to the matched elements for the given event type.

Each time you focusin you attach a new focusout event to `'tr #edituser'. That is why it gets called multiple times.

Try This

var prev_uname;
$('tr #editUser').on('focusin', function(){
   prev_uname = $(this).val();
   console.log(prev_uname)

});

$('tr #editUser').focusout(function(){
   alert(prev_uname);            
});
