At this point the white team coach sends a sub to the table. I allow the sub for the red team bleeder into the game, but deny entry to the white team sub because he presented himself after the warning horn.
I know there is a rule that says if a player is required by rule to be replaced, then any other entry into the game may enter also, but I believe this applies only to free throws. Also I felt that the bleeding red player had never actually entered the game at this point, and his sub should be classified as the 5th red team member and not as a sub.
Did I do it right by rule or not?

I am allowing the new white player into the game.
It is my reasoning that one of the purposes of having a game is to have the kids on the floor.
Allowing White to substitute during this stoppage, or delay, has little difference to allowing a substitute in before the first of multiple free throws during an interim delay.
