Others have already explained how to create an action that does what you nee
d.

However, I strongly urge you, if you care about the photos, to stop using
Brightness/Contrast and learn to use Levels or Curves instead.

The Brightness/Contrast command is only intended ofr novices, and it degrade
s
the quality of your pictures. It is a "linear" command, which means that it
reduces image quality by clipping detail from the hilights and/or shadow of 
the
image.

Levels and Curves are both "nonlinear" commands; they can do the same thing 
as
Brightness/Contrast, but without degrading the quality of the image by clipp
ing
detail.

If the image is simply underexposed, Levels may be all you need to fix it, a
nd
learning to use the Levels command is not as difficult as learning to use th
e
Curves command. In fact, Auto Levels may fix the images better and faster th
an
Brightness/Contrast, and you need not learn the intricities of Levels at all
!

Good advice.

Look, a little Tough Love here. When you pay a fortune for the
state-of-the-art photo-imaging program, would you not think that it can
automate such a simple, ordinary friggin task as that? Others will answer,
but the word here PRESS HELP AUTOMATE. Intuitive enough, moneybags?

That's a great site for non-artistic folks to master bevel and
emboss.  Too bad that all you can do, Mike.

If you decide you want to tweak the brightness or levels for each pic while
batching the rest, you can put in a pause, with a preset adjustment, then as
you OK it, the batch will continue...
