Well, Sir Issac Newton's followers determined that all objects have a gravitation pull proportional to their size. Of course the universal gravitational constant is so small that even an aircraft carrier is not going to have a great effect. While B5 is very large, I think the 1/3 gravity in C&C is due to its proximity to the center of the axis of rotation, not the mass of the station....
