Antony's speech appealed to the crowd's emotions, while Brutus's was clinically logical and direct. Brutus used language that was clinically sensible and provided a rational explanation why Caesar had to be assassinated. He told them that he and the other conspirators had acted for the good of Rome and prevented them to be ruled by a possible tyrant.
In contrast, Antony used all the persuasive techniques to sway the crowd. He used repetition, for example. In saying "Friends, Romans, countrymen," (the power of three) he is essentially repeating the same word but its effect is to emphasize the fact that he is one of them and shares their sentiments. By doing this, he draws the crowd to him -- they have the same identity and are, therefore, essentially the same.
Antony subtly uses irony. He repeatedly refers to Brutus and the other conspirators as "honourable men." The repeated use of the phrase immediately contrasts with deeds which are far from "honourable," and the crowd soon responds to Antony's suggestion that the conspirators are, indeed, not "honourable." Antony mocks Brutus and the conspirators throughout his speech by using innuendo. He never directly says anything bad about them.
In addition, by using contrasts, Antony is making the crowd increasingly aware of the brutality of the conspirators' deed. This makes the crowd restless. When Antony uses rhetorical questions, he makes the crowd think about what Brutus said and compares Caesar's deeds to that. It gradually dawns on them that Brutus had been misguided and was wrong in his judgment of Caesar.
