One should not hide or suppress any info. Its better that you mention it, they anyhow have resurces to find out about brother also being in US. Dont put parents in awkward position in front of VO in case he/she asks by not mentioning this in the DS-160. Since you are the sponsorer they need not carry any documents related to your brother but its advisable that parents know the name of college/university just in case the VO asks.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
