It looks as though you have something shorted. You shouldn't have any RED led's lighting up on that second bottom row.
Have a good look at your circuit to see if you can find some shorts.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean but are you referring to the logic level coming out of the 7442? Because there will be a logic 0 coming out of the 7442 each time it is enabling one of the rows of cathodes.
I would just get a multimeter (on resistance setting) and check for any short circuits between the matrix pins.
