False.

Battle of Gettysburg

The regiment was commanded by Colonel John H. Ketcham. It brought 609 men to the field, losing 7 killed, 23 wounded, and 15 missing.
From the marker in the Trostle Farmyard: "Charged to this point on July 2nd 1863, about 8 p.m. and drew off three abandoned guns of Bigelow's Battery."
From the monument on Culp's Hill: "This regiment defended these works on July 3rd from 6.30 to 9 a.m. and from 10 a.m. to 12 m. and captured 200 prisoners"

I'm going to say False.

The 150th NY was involved in fighting at Culp's Hill as early as 0630 on 3 July, so it seems unlikely that they would have spent the night of July 2nd on Little Round Top, down at the other end of the line .
