That's actually the 1914 Brooklyn Tip-Tops (usually called the Brookfeds that year). The 1915 team wore a uniform with a distinctive B on the chest, and were wearing those uniforms in an image published in a newspaper on Opening Day in Brooklyn, April 10th, so it is unlikely that they posed for a photo in their home park wearing their old uniforms prior to getting the new ones.
I've also included a dated newspaper image from 1914 for comparison.
