Many animals defaecate when they are frightened as losing a little weight is an aid to running away faster.

Our cousin the monkey is probably up in a tree and is not in immediate danger so the faeces becomes a readily available weapon with which to annoy the threat.

Throwing dung is also seen in Homo Sapiens. If you've ever watched an episode of Lock-up or Lock-down which documents life in American prisons, It is not uncommon for inmates to hurl their dung at staff or each other. Often fecal matter is stored and mixed with urine then left to fester into a noxious brew and used on a victim at an opportune moment.

Can you poop monkeys?

Yes, at least as much as any other primate. Since their minds are not as developed as ours, it seems that they could be on the maturity level of a toddler. There are toddlers who like playing with their excrement or would do so if given an opportunity. Then they grow out of it. There are also dogs that like rolling around in dog waste. So given the behavior of other mammals, including primates, it is reasonable to believe that there are monkeys that enjoy this as well.
