Early life Barry was ordained a priest in 1925. He was a curate at St. Paul's, Flatbush. He specifically "was assigned jurisdiction over the missionary work of the Diocese."

In May 1950, at the end of a stormy Diocesan convention held at the Lake Placid Club, he nominated David E. Richards, then a priest at St. George's Church, Schenectady, who was elected his first suffragan bishop. over Charles Bowen Persell Jr., his only close competitor. Brown was consecrated on February 22, 1959, at St. John's Church, Ogdensburg, by Presiding Bishop the Most Reverend Arthur C. Lichtenberger. In 1960, Bishop Barry died in a hospital after some time in ill health, and the see was left vacant. Brown was elected and enthroned as diocesan bishop in 1961 to replace Barry. Barry is buried in the Lady Chapel of the Cathedral of All Saints.
