After landing, the second pilot, who was in the left seat, at the controls, made a left-hand turn onto taxiway 'Charlie.' A second turn to the left was then made onto taxiway 'Alfa,' a 75-foot wide, down sloping, asphalt taxiway. The brakes appeared to operate normally during all of the turns. The airplane continued to taxi, at a speed of 'about a fast walk,' to the active runway for departure. Due to the strong winds, the power was at idle and light braking was used. As the second pilot began a left 90-degree turn to the runway hold short line, he commented that there were no brakes. The pilot then took the controls and attempted to depress his brakes with no result. The airplane continued to roll, veering to the right into a grass ditch, about 20 feet from the taxiway. Examination of the brakes revealed sufficient brake pedal travel and pressure on the left side brake pedals.
