It is shown that the generalized (with nonpolynomial Lagrangian) Chern-Simons membranes and in general p-branes moving in D-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket these constraints satisfy closed algebra containing p-dimensional classical W algebra as a subalgebra. In the case when the target space dimension D is finite the theory is topological.
