"some of whom" is an adjective clause (also called relative clause).

These clauses must use these relative pronouns: that/which/who/whom/whose

and they must have a verb.


"Them" is a subjective pronoun, which is why it forms an independent clause.

Example: In this company, there are many employees, AND some of them are freshmen.
In this company, there are many employees. Some of them are freshmen.

There is also a way of omitting "be/being" verb:
"In this company, there are many employees, some of them freshmen"

If "be" is not in the clause, then the above sentence is correct.

This can't be the case for relative clauses though, since it has to have a verb.
