Without trying to sound mean, this is something your brother probably needs to handle on his own. It's great that you want to help him out and protect him, but fighting with the people who are bullying him is just going to get you in trouble and may make the situation worse.
He needs to tell an adult, first off. Either your parents, a teacher at school, the principal, and so on - a trusted adult who can deal with the situation. Once the adult has been told, they can talk to the teacher or a principal and decide how to handle the situation. Maybe he'll have to have a parent-teacher-student conference. Maybe he'll be suspended. There are several ways to deal with bullying, and some schools have stricter tolerance levels than others.
Your brother can also talk to a school counsellor about how to deal with bullying. A counsellor can help him raise his confidence and self-esteem, and show him ways of talking to or handling a bully, without using a violence. Just because you're being bullying doesn't make it ok to go and beat the crap out of another person - two wrongs don't make a right.

I agree with Nikolita. Brute force might seem like the best way to deal with a problem like this, but it usually isn't. Beating someone up (even a bully) can get you a detention, a suspension, or even criminal assault charges. Not to mention that beating someone up is always a gamble; no matter how strong you are, you don't know for sure that you're going to win. People even pull out knives in fights sometimes.
So like she said, encourage him to talk to an adult. Maybe this other boy will get in trouble. Or maybe the adults can teach your brother how to stand up for himself better without violence. The less violence involved, the safer you two will be.

If the person bullying your brother is younger or way younger than you, you shouldn't even have to look tough to stop the hate. If either my brother or my cousin had a problem in school, I could simply walk in and sit next to my brother or cousin and the hate would stop. Since I'm 17 and they are like 7 and 8 years old, so sometimes age, height and looks can get the job done.
But yea, talking to some sort of authority is better on the victim's part, but I don't think the bully usually learns their lesson. I know, I've been there and when I could take it anymore, I beat the hell out of him, go into more trouble than him, but he stopped after that and it was worth it for me, but I don't do it now, because the chance to go to prison is just stupid now these days. I just hate it how the good guy always gets punished and the bad guy (The Bully) walks away with a littler or no punishment at all.

As horrible as it might seem....you should let your brother handle this alone. If it get's physical, let an adult know. Don't handle it yourself. I was bullied and I got others involved and it got way out of hand!
