Rubbish.

All 3 articles I linked discuss the NUI Centre for Astronomy's research on BDs.
The link above expounds on the other two.
The quote above, particularly the bold, using the same verbiage, should've made it clear.

"A very similar process is believed to apply to brown dwarfs, albeit producing radio emission many orders of magnitude brighter than that detected from the planets. The resulting radiation, which is very strongly beamed perpendicular to the magnetic field of the brown dwarf, sweeps Earth once per rotation period of the dwarf to produce the bright pulses. However, it remains a mystery how the high energy electrons which produce the radio emission are continuously accelerated into the magnetic poles of the dwarf."

So, high energy electrons produce radio emissions we see from BDs.

I'd say this answers a couple of your questions: how do you get from radio emissions to high energy electrons & what indication is there that BDs produce high energy electrons.
Although, the latter was more a claim than a question as you said, "there is no indication...."

I think we're finished here.
