How did we find out about if he didn't write about it?
Paul didn't have to disfellowship because he realized legalism is a spirit and confronted the spirit. It just so happened the guy with the "keys" happend to be influenced by that spirit. Once Peter realized the direction he was heading, he made a change that even effected his writing. Peter's epistles were a far cry for the legalistic venom he espoused in the book of Acts.
