As you have been told. They, being bobwhites, and at too hot a temperature are pecking eachother. Bloody, swollen feet on all but two birds means that they are pecking eachother. Even if you don't see them pecking eachother.

Might I ask the size of the brooder?

The aspen bedding is not the cause. Aspen is common bedding for quail and is much better than newspaper and the same, mostly, as pine bedding. It is not causing the foot problems.
