In the book, the captain and all his men were killed, because the martians thought that the captain was in misery and all of his men were his illusions. When the men were in search of someone to talk to, every martian thought they were crazy/in misery. So I believe yes justice was served. I'm not saying that I agree with it, but justice was served.
The majority of martians they met including a little girl thought that the captain was crazy. They all lead him to an insane asylum. Mr. Xxx brought justice to the captain by killing him, so he was the justice bringer. The captain was the justice stopper. This makes me think about what people think justice is in different societies/different minds.
For example, a murderer in his mind could think he was doing the right thing, he could be crazy and think justice isn't being served, when the majority of the people in the world disagree with him. So perhaps if martians came to our world, "justice" would be brought upon them. So really, there is no wrong or right justice. It's just what you think is justice.
So even though humans would think the martians were crazy, the martians don't. They were brought up in their world, we were brought up in ours, so you can't really blame the people brought up in the society. Like in the real world, children are brought up into racist families, so they become racist. It's not their fault. It's they way they were brought up to think.
On the other hand, people can have their own thoughts so maybe we should blame them. Perhaps Mr. Xxx should have realized that he was killing another organism for nothing. Just like kids should realize that their is no difference between two races,
