Were they just roaming the range? Enjoying prairie life?
What exactly did they do that made them so famous?

The story that the Indians called them Buffalo soldiers b/c of their "toughness" or somesuch is PC bullshite. The Indians compared them to buffalo b/c of their nappy hair. But you're not allowed to say that now.

So they were actually doing to the Indians what the White soldiers were doing to them as well?

Both of your stated reasons are in history books and have been for a long time. Political Correctness has nothing to do with it.
