If I understand your question correctly...one part that shows Tolkien's idea of a warrior code is in the chapter The Black Gate Opens, when the Mouth of Sauron comes out. That has to do with an ambassador, so it may not be what you're looking for.
There are probably others who can think of other suggestions and places, but I haven't read the books recently and that's all I can think of right now.
Oh...! Another thing that I found interesting in Tolkien's works was the emphasis that he puts on oaths. When people broke their oaths, there was punishment. Those who lived under the Dwimorberg were under a curse due to their broken oaths and could not be freed from that curse until honoring said oath. That may be another warrior code, per se.
