You can find the words of the famous speech given by Brutus at Caesar's funeral online at Word Info. You can also find the speech in the book Julius Caesar.
One example of how Brutus used the appeal of reason was wen he said that if Caesar was still alive then they would all be slaves and that they would all die as slaves if Caesar wasn't dead.
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.
Apart from Brutus and Antony, nobody spoke at the funeral. Unfortunately after Antony's speech a riot ensued and the crowd dispersed. One hopes that Antony had the decency to pick up Caesar's corpse from the Capitol steps and deal with it in some kind of hygenic manner.
Brutus allows Antony to speak at Caesar's funeral to show that they have nothing to hide and to demonstrate their commitment to fairness and democracy. It was also part of their strategy to win the public's support by giving Antony a chance to address the crowd.
Brutus was not at the funeral (it would be kind of inappropriate for the killer to show-up). It was Mark Anthony who gave the funeral speech.
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.
Funeral Oration.
Although both Brutus and Antony offered eulogies, Antony offered one tempered with sarcasm and disrepute, while Brutus's was sincere with praise and good will.
His reasons for speaking @ the funeral are to justify the conspirators' actions in murdering Caesar and also to introduce Marc Antony.
He uses parallel structure because the same structurehappensin his own life. (E.g.) When Julius Caesar dies, so does Brutus.

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.
