We first discuss and determine the isospin mixing of the two $2^-$ states(12.53 MeV and 12.97 MeV) of $^{16}$O nucleus using the inelastic electronscattering data. We then evaluate the cross section of 4.4-MeV $\gamma$ raysproduced in the neutrino neutral-current (NC) reaction $^{16}$O($\nu,\nu^{\prime}$)$^{16}$O$(12.97 {\rm MeV}, 2^-$) in a water Cherenkov detector atthe low energy below 100 MeV. The detection of $\gamma$ rays for $E_{\gamma}>5$MeV from the NC reaction $^{16}$O($\nu, \nu^{\prime}$)$^{16}$O$(E_x>16\ {\rmMeV}, T=1$) with a water Cherenkov detector in the supernova neutrino burstshas been proposed and discussed by several authors previously. In this article,we discuss a new NC reaction channel from $^{16}$O(12.97 ${\rm MeV}, 2^-$)producing a 4.4-MeV $\gamma$ ray, the cross section of which is more robust andeven larger at the low energy ($E_{\nu}<25$ MeV) than the NC cross section from$^{16}$O$(E_x>16\ {\rm MeV}, T=1$). We also evaluate the number of such eventsinduced by neutrinos from supernova explosion which can be observed by theSuper-Kamiokande, a 32 kton water Cherenkov detector in the Earth.
