: Hello,
: I'd like to know the meaning of the "bumped" in such context below.
: -Anyone who was holding a free tight was being "bumped"?
: Thanks to whoever answers to it.

If you mean a "free FLIGHT", then it means you are being asked to leave the airplane to make room for another passenger.
"Bumped", in airline-speak, is to eliminate and cancel your ticket for that flight.
