If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:
Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s
Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c
Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c
Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c
Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s
Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.
Answer: 27000 km/s
As the first astronaut throws the ball, lets assume it goes with v velocity and the mass of the ball be m
the momentum comes out be mv, thus to conserve that momentum the astronaut will move opposite to the direction of the ball's motion with the velocity mv/M (where M is the mass of the astronaut).
