Does this tandem have drop bars or flat/straight bars? This will determine if you can use V-brakes or not.
As mentioned a 'drag' brake is common on a lot of touring tandems, it's a drum brake mounted to the non-drive side of the rear wheel & can be operated with a brake lever or for better dragging, wind it on with a thumbshifter so it drags continuously on a long descent.
