5x5 LED Matrix - Using 74HC595B1

ok .. so as a test i wired up a led matrix as per the schematic attached. now when i attach +5v to point C and GND
to point B (as column/row selector) the led does not light up :(. but when i attach +5v to point A to make sure
the led is not burnt out, it lights up.

can anyone help me figure out whats going wrong here ?

thanks
Ankit
