All of that "Brown stuff" is natural oil that you have now removed from the wood. While it may seem gross it is completely harmless and helps prevent the wood from dry rotting. You should not need to use such aggressive methods like rubbing alcohol to clean the wood, simply oiling the bore with a natural oil and swabbing it out is enough to remove accumulated dust and debris and leave the bore with a nice shine in most cases.
While I 100% agree that a clean instrument is important, there is such a thing as overdoing it.
The mouthpiece on the other hand CAN be disinfected, and that alone should be enough to protect you from germs.
Congrats on your new instrument btw!
