Captain Marlon Pack later delivered a speech to supporters from a balcony before being rudely interrupted by team-mate Joe Rafferty.
As Pack spoke to fans, the defender pulled down his trousers to show his bare bum to the crowd below.
His antics left fans in hysterics as his skipper quickly put a stop to it.
Meanwhile, Barnsley remain fifth in League One with two matches remaining.
The Tykes need one win from those fixtures to confirm their place in the play-offs.
