'shake' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'up justice old fashion is heartless' is the wordplay.
'up justice' becomes 'j' (I am not sure about the 'up' bit.).
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'fashion' becomes 'style' (synonyms).
'is heartless' suggests removing the centre.
'style' with its centre taken out is 'stle'.
'j'+'o'+'stle'='JOSTLE'
