Brutus must read it first.
Brutus is very naive and trusting, plus he is a noble person. Cassius is more devious, and able to trick and control Brutus into doing his bidding.
There are two main ironies in the crowd's reaction to Brutus's speech. First, Brutus explains to the crowd that the only reason he killed Caesar was that Caesar was too ambitious. Brutus says he participated in murdering Caesar in order to keep from getting too much power.
Brutus states that he will never be led through the streets of Rome as a captive
"As he was valiant I honour him but as he was ambitious I slew him."
Cassius does not respond to the death of Brutus as Cassius dies before Brutus does. Brutus responds to Cassius' death with tender words.
Brutus used brotherly speech and mannerisms to win people over as his appeal to emotion
Brutus's purpose was to control the crowd as was Anthony's. Brutus began his speech with a hostile crowd against him as a murderer of the popular Julius Caesar.
Anthony tricks Brutus into letting him give a soliloquy at Caesar's funeral. He uses the opportunity to sarcastically implicate Brutus and Cassius in Caesar's murder. He says that Brutus considered Caesar "ambitious" using his speech to use Brutus' own words against him.
Anthony hates Brutus and views him as a traitor throughout the play. His funeral speech which Brutus believed would be vindication coming from a friend, instead praises Caesar and regards Brutus with a contempt that is readily seen by the Roman people.
