Actually, Brutus is a much more trustworthy person than Antony, as their behaviour throughout the play shows. But Antony wants, for his own personal purposes, to discredit Brutus. He does this with sarcasm, calling Brutus an "honourable man" in sarcastic fashion. And he alludes to the fact that Brutus and Caesar were great friends: "Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel". Brutus has already given his explanation of this in saying it was not that he loved Caesar less but that he loved Rome more, and Antony is trying to break this down by getting the crowd into a state of unthinking emotional reaction. This is always a good way to get crowds to do insane things, especially in a Shakespeare play, but also in real life.
