Of course, Brutus is the leader of the action that the entire play revolves around, i.e. the assassination of Caesar. So in a way, he and his co-conspirators used action, not words, to rescue the Republic, in their own minds. But on the other hand, I do think Shakespeare is more interested in the power of rhetoric to move the masses, as the example of Antony's speech clearly shows.

In a way, the play is a good example of the power of words versus actions. Caesar and Antony use words, Brutus and company use actions. It should be noted that Brutus also uses words to trick Caesar into thinking he is a loyal friend. Ultimately, I suppose actions win out in terms of Caesar’s assassination, but Antony fights back with his speech about “honorable men” for sure!
