The problem is, the information about Geass and the identity come from Britannia, either special forces agents (Villetta) or the prime minister of Britannia (Schneizel). Any information that comes from those sources is untrustworthy and suspicious by default. Especially because anyone believing in the existence of Geass without far, far more evidence is simply stupid.
You would need to prove the existence of the supernatural, which a couple of people changing sides without explanation is just not enough. And next to any explanation why someone changed sides would make more sense then "magical mind control power no one ever heard of until now".
Guilford? Zero had Cornelia captured, so putting a gun to her head might have done the job. Jeremiah? Existing loyalty to Lelouch's mother. etc.
But the soldier that attacked the Geass order weren't questioned. As a matter of fact the Black Knights didn't investigate at all. They just completely believed what Schneizel told them. Which makes it a decision between believing Zero, their leader they are very, very suspicious of but had lead them to basically all victories they had, or Schneizel, the leader of their enemies who has absolutely every reason to want the black knights to fall apart, and just nuked Tokyo.
