I assume you refer to John Brown's Raid at Harpers Ferry in 1859. No. George Custer was not present. He may have been still in school at West Point.
The person you may be thinking about is the person who later became a famous Confederate cavalry commander: JEB Stuart.
Since John Brown attacked a Federal arsenal, the President ordered US troops to stop him. A small group of US Marines arrived. They were placed under the command of an Army colonel, Robert E. Lee, and JEB Stuart was also part of this group of soldiers who attacked and suppressed John Brown's raid.
