OK, I see. There are two issues here
- "Mensch" means "man" in the sense of "human being". I think the plural 'men' is not normally used with that meaning in English.You'd rather resort to "five people". [Not a native English speaker, though]
- 'men' is plural, so it'd have to be "die fünf Menschen" in German

Can I write "Die fünf Männer lesen was?"? It wasn't accepted, but I thought that word order was also correct...
