Any other boys involved were dealt with appropriately. The rest of them got their punishment/were treated properly would be my guess. Hmm, strange...

You're probably right...
Any other = every other....
boys involved = boys that were involved in that altercation....
were dealt with appropriately = they got what they deserve....

thanks.
