Ivan Toney received racist abuse after scoring his two goals in Friday's 2-0 win over the Seagulls.
Toney woke up angry after posting a picture of a direct message he received on social media.
The Bees decried the discrimination in the strongest possible terms.
The club said that an attack on a player is an attack on all of them.
Ivan will be supported by the club and the fans who have condemned the abuse.
We expect strong support from the police, legal authorities and from Meta to ensure that the individual involved faces the full force of the law for this despicable hate crime
All relevant authorities had been informed.
No one should have to deal with abuse like that received by Ivan Toney. Football and society have no place for it.
Ivan and the club are being supported by us.
The families of Toney and Henry were racially abused at Goodison Park after the game.
On Friday, Toney scored both sides of the break, including a second-half penalty, as the Bees beat the Seagulls.
The players took a knee before the start of the game in order to show their support for the No Room for Racism campaign.
The captains of the league decided before the start of the season that the anti-racism gesture wouldn't be allowed. It will be shown before some games.
In September, Toney was called into the England squad to play Italy and Germany, but he wasn't used by the coach.
