The way I usually handle fights is I stand where they both can see me and watch. Most of the time they'll keep at it, but they won't straight up kill each other in front of you.
If someone is making it lethal, arrest someone. Usually, it's best to arrest whoever is losing the fight. The reason for that is if you get who's winning, they are usually bitter about it and the loser will be more likely to try and continue fighting even while you're arresting. With the loser, a lot of times they'll just be thankful to be pulled out of the fray, and the guy who was winning will move on. Generally, whoever seems calmer is the guy you should take.
After that, you can privately question the other guy to get more info about why they were fighting and either release him or continue with a brigging. Most of the time it's over petty theft, and you can usually get the item back and return it to the owner yourself.
The main thing to keep in mind is it's all about conflict resultion. The goal is stopping the fight and preventing future ones, not finding the guilty party and punishing them. A brigging in these cases should be considered more of a way to separate the two parties and for the crewman's safety, so whoever you do arrest don't treat them like a dangerous subject until you've been given a reason to.
