Morris is thoroughly unpleasant and any project leader with a spine would've banned him long ago, sure. But I'm not aware of him harassing any particular individuals (unless isolated insults on IRC count as harassment), nor do I believe he was racist, sexist, body-shaming or anything that would violate the CoC in question on its face.
Project leaders need to take responsibility for conduct in their project. But codes, as I've seen them applied in the Scala world, combine the worst of a formal system with the worst of an informal judgement. If it's not clear what kind of actions do and don't violate your CoC then I'd sooner trust the project leader to use their judgement directly.
