Not all Rosters are online, besides he only had 2 enlistments, 1901 to 1903 and 1903 to 1906. The Spanish American War was April 1898 to August 1898. There was a Philipine Insurrection between December 17, 1899 and February 2, 1900. Still to early for him to be in pictures of troops in SpAm and PI conflicts.
Try the NARA to see if they have any pictures of the Army units 1901-1906 that survived thier 1973 fire.

Try a Google book search someone else of his unit may have penned a book and memtioned him or has pictures.
Reading the History of the 12th Cav, Robert D Hoof's 2nd enlistment (started March 29th 1903) was spent mostly in the Philipines as the 12th were sent there Aug 30th 1903 and came back Sept 13, 1905 and based at Fort Oglethorpe, GA where he was discharged March 28th 1906.
