As legend has it, the Mexican flag had been taken by cadet of the Niños Héroes who leapt with it to his death from Chapultepec Castle in order to deny the Americans the honor of capturing it. In a final act of defiance, the men about to be hanged cheered the Mexican flag, as one onlooker remarked; "Hands tied, feet tied, their voices still free". At Harney's signal, the carts holding the tied and noosed men pulled away. Harney refused to cut the bodies down, stating that "I was ordered to have them hanged, and have no orders to unhang them"; Harney was subsequently promoted to brigadier general, which rank he held while the U.S. Army occupied Mexico City.
