I know about the several ways:

1. Use loadlin from DOS's multiboot as Ira Abramov noticed

2. Use lilo and install it after win95 as Malamoud Nir noticed

3. Edit the file MSDOS.SYS and change "BootGUI=1" line to
   "BootGUI=0" (and also "Logo=1" to "Logo=0" - recommended).
   Now after regular bootstrap you will get MS-DOS. Then you
   may or leave it, or type "win" to start win95 or use loadlin
   to start Linux. I personally preffer this way - it is much more
   flexible and convenient. By this way you may also load old Win31
   (for example if you need Hebrew support).
