How many men on the bridge with Peyton Farquhar might be considered responsible for the event?

Only one, and that one is in command of the detail. In this case it is the captain standing on the same platform as Peyton.
This was a military operation, and the detail was tasked to execute a spy. Under military law, the action is lawful, and as a lawful military action, only the charge of detail is responsible.
It is possible that the argument could be made that Peyton himself is responsible.

All of the men on the bridge with Peyton Farquhar could be considered responsible to some extent for the event, as they were all involved in carrying out the execution. However, the soldier who tricked Farquhar into trying to sabotage the bridge and the officer who oversaw the hanging would bear more direct responsibility.
