I'm not sure I understand. You took your T-shirt off to stop a bully? Then again, I haven't seen the newest one.

If you read What Every Body is Saying (http://www.amazon.com/What-Every-BODY-Saying-Speed-Reading/dp/0061438294/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313906247&sr=1-1), the author states that when one guy takes off his shirt, it's an almost sure sign that a fight will happen.
I would recommend against ripping off your shirt for people who are actually getting bullied. It's a sign of aggression.

The best thing to do is to tell multiple teacher if the teacher's wont do anything about it then you have to defend yourself. Telling multiple teachers helps because once you get in trouble you can say that you did tell them about the situation and that they didn't do anything to help i bet they will listen next time :

Exceptions? You're saying those people SHOULD rip their shirts off? I suppose that would scare someone away...

I have my son in martial arts so that he has the confidence to stand up for himself and not get bullied. My sons attends a private school and bullying is rare but I told him that if he starts a fight he will pay the piper. I also told him if someone else starts it and will NOT let him walk away that he has my permission to defend himself and kick the snot out of the bully.
