In fact, the soldiers were not punished. They were held for trial, but patriot John Adams agreed to defend them, in order to ensure a fair trial (and not alienate moderates from the Patriot cause), and did so successfully.
Two of the British soldiers were punished for manslaughter by having an "m" branded on their thumbs. This was considered a light punishment at that time, but was to ensure they could not escape harsher punishment for manslaughter in any subsequent trial.
