Brutus argued against killing Antony for two main reasons. First, he thought that if they killed anyone other than Caesar, everyone would view them as bloodthirsty murderers instead of liberators. Second, he did not think that Antony would retaliate against them due to the fact that his power would diminish with Caesar's death.
