The phrase "why" is used as a conjunction in this sentence. It introduces a noun clause that acts as the object of the preposition "for" (implied in "no cause"). The clause explains the purpose for the preceding assertion, that's that there may be no justification for merciless conduct. Why efficiently fits the grammatical structure and conveys the meant meaning of the sentence. The different alternatives do not healthy the grammatical structure or do no longer explicit the meant meaning.
