Because, as he argues, "what other oath than honesty to honesty engaged, that this shall be, or we will fall for it?" It is the same argument put forward in the Epistle of James (James 5:12) in The Bible: "Do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned." In other words, if you are honest, what need is there for an oath?

Why does brutus disagree about taking an oath what character traits does this speech reveal?

Brutus does not want to swear an oath because this would lessen the nobility of their endeavor. As honorable and honest men-good Romans all, they are pledging themselves to commit an honorable deed by killing Caesar; an oath would suggest that they lack nobility, honest, and courage. He is displaying a sense of honor or hubris depending on your point of view. ChaCha!
