This is because Mark Antony remains successful in completely turning the minds of the Romans,who supported the conspirators, against them and raging to seek revenge against Brutus and the others.

It turned the mob against Brutus, which was his objective.
He keeps on saying that Brutus is an honourable man when the message he is trying to convey is that Brutus is not an honourable man at all.
Brutus spares Antony because he doesn't want to further inflame the populace, and thinks that Antony, as Caesar's friend, can make the citizens understand why Caesar was killed. However, he has underestimated Antony, who turns his speech from one of support for the assassins to one that sets Rome against them. Antony reinforces his position of power in Rome and Brutus must flee.
