Is that supposed to mean "Black Power"? If it does, and they are allowed to stay at West Point, then presumably a "White Power" expression is also acceptable... right?
To me it seemed like they were trying to go for a symbol of unity among themselves. Maybe it looked a little goofy or was misconstrued and was even probably a little antiquated and showed insecurity. You're part of a larger group in the military, you're supposed to leave that baggage behind you and form ranks with everybody around you. Especially in that elite military school. A couple weekends on extra KP and latrine detail should be enough for them.
If a bunch of southern cadets held up a picture of Robert E Lee as a group, the punishment should be the same, no more, no less.
