Who was he and why was he should be replaced with who he was and why he was to convey the intended meaning that the professor questioned the intruder to find out his identity and the reason for his presence in the lecture. The question form is changed into the statement form by inverting the subject and the verb,
Hence, the correct sentence should be: "The Professor asked the intruder who he was and why he was in his lecture."
