The brass refers to officers, and it's shorthand for the older phrase the brass hats.. From the OED: brass hat n. [so called from the gilt insignia on an officer's cap] colloq. (orig.Mil. slang) a high-ranking officer in the armed forces, originally in the British army; cf. tin hat n. 1b.n books by many different authors I encountered phrases like this: He curses the brass for not caring whether he lives or dies.
