Brutus believes that Antony is the same kind of person he is; a man who can be trusted to keep his word and act honourably. While Antony is suggesting that Brutus is dishonourable by calling him honourable, he himself is acting dishonourably by breaking the spirit of his promise to Brutus. Irony upon irony!
Because Mark Antony is deceptive and sly. He's persuasive.
he doesn't want to let Antony speak at Caesar's funeral because Cassius knows that Antony is manipulative and will turn the crowd against the conspirators.
Cassius anticipates that Antony will do exactly as he does do: inflame the crowd against the conspirators. Cassius understands politics, but Brutus does not.
hes worried that antony will turn on him.

Brutus does.
The favor that Antony asks of the conspirators is to speak at Caesar's funeral. They eventually let him, however Brutus gives him guidelines/restrictions that he must agree too or else he will not be allowed to speak at the funeral.
He must not speak against the conspirators and he will just speak whatever good he can come up with about Caesar.
Antony cant talk bad about Caesar, cant about the murders and the last rule i cant remember. Antony is very smart, he follows the rules and makes the speech emotional and tells everybody who killed Caesar BY FOLLOWING THE RULES! every body gets sad and mad and goes off to kill the murders.
Cassius
Brutus fears antony
The crowd did react to Brutus and Anthony funeral speeches because they had much intellectual appeal.
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.
Because Antony promised he would not do the very thing he ended up doing, and Brutus trusted him. Unfortunately for Brutus he really was an "honourable man".
Cassius does not like that Antony was granted the favor to speak at the funeral. Cassius does not trust Antony.
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.

He made two decisions about Antony, he firstly decides not to kill him along with Caesar in fear of being seen as "butchers"; and after the assassination of Caesar, he decides to allow Antony to speak at caesars funeral. which in turn is brutus' ultimate downfall.
