Brackets are used to portion off a part of a sentence, but are still a part of that sentence, and therefore come before the full stop (or any other punctuation), signifying the end of the sentence. You agree there should be no capital letters, presumably because you realise that what happens within parentheses, and the bracket itself, is still a part of the sentence it resides within.
Unless what is in the brackets is a full sentence, in which case it starts with a capital and the full stop is also inside.
