Basically, by killing them.
One test they used to determine wether someone was a witch or not was to tie up the accused person to a chair, and throw them into a body of water. If the person was a witch, they would free themselves and escape death. If not (which was invariably the case), they would drown.
Most tests were like this; if they're a witch, they'll survive this for sure death sentence; if not, they're not a witch and they'll die.
EDIT:
There was no way to prove an accused witch's innocence in Salem. Witch tests like those detailed above were considered barbaric and the evidence of witchcraft and nonexistance of such were used to decide by the judges to decide on a verdict.

How were some ways to identify a witch in the Salem witchcraft trials?
Unlike most European witch hunts, the Salem panic did not convict the stereotypical witch evey time. In Europe, witch hunts began when someone died unexpectedaly or something close to that happened and a person who fit the traditional view of a witch was blamed and executed. In Salem, the girls called out on people that cannot all be connected by one trait.

How did people test for witches in the seventeenth century?
I think people strapped the person who was being accused to a chair. Then, the people who were accusing the "witch" would put the chair underwater for long periods of time. Then the chair would be brought up from the water. If the "witch" was dead, then it would turn out that the person wasn't a witch. If the person survived, he/she would probably be hanged or stoned to death because they were a witch and did witchcraft. If you look up "Salem Witchcraft" or something like that, I'm sure you'll find something. Hope this helped!
