Some mechanical brake light switches have normally closed contacts. That means if the switch is removed from it's location, the contacts will be closed turning your brake light on. When mounted normally some part of the lever or pedal pushes on the switch to hold the contacts open.
Ignore this info if you have hydraulically actuated switches (although they can be on if the internal plunger is stuck). If you removed the wiring from your switches, then there has to be a short somewhere causing your problem. Inspect the loom carefully.
