Barnes fired seventh-placed Burnley ahead in spectacular style in the 22nd minute with an acrobatic volley from an Aaron Lennon cross.
New Zealand forward Chris Wood added the second in the 73rd minute, heading home after his initial shot had been saved but West Brom got back into the game through Salomon Rondon’s strike seven minutes from time.
