Caines, the 2001 World Indoor Champion went stride for stride with Brew on his outside but, not fully fit after a knee injury, lost form after 250 m.
Brew then took control and eased to a relatively easy first place with Brown paying for his initial effort to be ran down by the fast finishing Clarke.
Harris held on strongly to take silver with Brew giving the United States a clean sweep as they had also previously managed at the 1968 Summer Olympics and 1988 Summer Olympics.
