Hi and welcome to HC!

Syrians are very terratorial and need to live alone. There is no need to introduce your hamsters to each other.

Graham Cracker probably bites the bars because he wants to come out and fight with the new hamster who is intruding in his territory so don't ever let them come near each other.

They will be fine living in the same room as long as they have their own secure cages and you take them out separately.

Graham Cracker should settle down again as soon as he realizes that the new hamster is no threat to him. I'd give him extra attention and treats to reassure him.
