Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VI, § 4. Classification of root systems
If {i,j} is of order 3, W(M′) is a finite Coxeter group.
Indeed, qij=−21, so (1) becomes
k,k′∈I′∑qkk′′ξkξk′=k,k′∈I∑qkk′ξkξk′
and (ξk)k∈I′↦∑k,k′∈I′qkk′′ξkξk′ is a positive non-degenerate quadratic form. It now suffices to apply Th. 2 of Chap. V. § 4, no. 8.
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
