I was randomly looking up old boxing articles and came across this fight in the Indianapolis Times. They have Benny Duke winning the 10 round decision, but he's listed as losing it in the Boxrec database.

Apparently it was a close fight with the reported winner depending on the paper. Indianapolis News gave the win to Brown, the Times to Duke, while the Star saw it even. I think it's fair to list the outcome as a draw here.
