Why is systems testing not considered glass box? Is it not done by testers who have access to the code?

System testing tests against the system specification (external behaviors) and it's done by QA team. These people may or may not know the inner code/implementation, so you can argue it's black/gray/glass box.

The way better answer is unit testing which tests the individual methods and classes. This is definitely glass box.
