It should have stopped her, because aside from Kouichi and possibly Nayoa (She put her patch on very quick.), no one has ever seen Mei without her patch so anyone that does acknowledge her would have a different story to tell since they don't know either. Aside from her eye being fake and a different color the eye seemed normal looking and since it was the first time Izumi seen it, she would want to question why Mei would hide something so mundane as a glass eye. I may not like Izumi, but I don't see her as the type that leaves even the most minor of details unnoticed, especially since she was the one that pointed out to Takako of Mei's operation.

If they looked into Fujioka's demise, they would have risked openly acknowledging Mei by listening to her. Nayoa acknowledging Kouichi even the slighest showed that he was the most vocal in disagreeing with the class decision. With that said, even if they didn't ignore Mei, even if they believed she wasn't the extra due to Fujioka you are missing one thing. Much of the class views the extra as a malicious monster that doesn't care who it gets killed. When Mei was outed, they reacted to her in fear induced madness. When Yumi went after her, she didn't see Mei as a person or even the dead rising. She saw her as the thing that killed her brother. With that in mind anything she says would be considered trickery by the witchhunt. If she told everyone that Reiko was the extra, they would say something like. "Miss Mikami isn't the extra she's too nice. And her hands weren't cold." They have know idea that the extra is no different than what they were in life.
