If watched in the context of the film, its not glorifying anything. That scene is to show the nature of the main character. The book describes the beating in painful detail, so the movie wouldn't do the source material justice if it was just watered down.
You're not supposed to like the guy giving the beating. The scene is necessary. It's easy to say it's gratuitous when just watching it on YouTube, but when watched with the pacing of the movie, you get the punch in the gut the writer was trying to get across.
BTW, to the other poster, its not a horror movie.
