This clue might be a double definition.

'turn out in body' is the first definition.

'to find' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brigand that I've seen before include "Robber in wild places" , "Freebooter" , "Plunderer" , "Highway robber" , "Pirate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
