These are the "captains of industry" or "robber barrons" of early american history. We have established that the middle gent is Carnegie and the left most is J.P.Morgan. The others are still mysteries.

One of them resembles Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist and millionaire. (The little guy with the white beard). The context of the photograph would be helpful in identifying them. I am not sure if they are in mourning or in a parade.
The tall dude with the walrus mustache and bowler hat could be JP Morgan then.

Definitely Andrew Carnegie, and if the topic is robber barons, probably have Cornelius Vanderbuilt, Andrew Mellon, maybe...Rockefeller? All were Industrialist in New York. Its a place to start anyway.

The one with the full white beard close to the middle of the picture appears to be Andrew Carnegie
*edit* The fellow who Carnegie appears to be holding arms with might be Henry Clay Frick, his business partner.

It would help if you'd tell us where you got the pic from.
