Laravel 5.5 not found class with correct namespace

My ./app folder looks like:

+-- app
   +-- Classes
       +-- Events
          +-- EventBase.php
          +-- EventX.php

There's nothing secret with EventX file:

<?

namespace App\Classes\Events;

class EventX {
  // ...
}

EventBase.php represents a Facade that inside it I just try to instantiate an EventX:

public function someMethod() {
  new \App\Classes\Events\EventX;
  // ...
}

After this line, Framework throw an exception telling that class was not found:

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR)
Class 'App\Classes\Events\EventX' not found

Even that:

file_exists(__DIR__ . '\EventX.php'); // true

I already had this issue before when trying to create Facades and solved by moving class file from his current directory and after moving back (yeah, I don't why but it worked).

Something tells me that this is an issue of autoload process, so I tried these command (but still not working):

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan clear-compiled

php artisan config:clear

composer dump-autoload

What can I do in order to investigate the problem?

I think the problem is with the php tag <?

<?php

namespace App\Classes\Events;

class EventX {
  // ...
}

PHP also allows for short open tag <? (which is discouraged since it is only available if enabled using the short_open_tag php.ini configuration file directive, or if PHP was configured with the --enable-short-tags option).

You need to add the new namespace to your composer.json to the key "psr-4"

    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/",
        "Classes\\": "app/classes/"

otherwise composer can't detect your new namespace
