Not sure about pressure but wind speed is measured by an ANENOMETER.

You may be able to meaure its pressure by some form of dynamometer (basically a spring-balance) attached to a target-plate of known area. There may also be calculations using speed and barometric pressure.

How come wind is only measured in a barometer?

Actually, a barometer is an instrument for measuring air pressure, or atmospheric pressure, but not wind speed or the "pressure" of a wind. This atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point of measurement. The instrument that measures wind speed is called an anemometer. Wind direction is indicated by a weather vane.
