Narrative:

We rejected takeoff at 60 KIAS but our speed increased to 75 KTS during abort. We received no hot brakes message after the event. We stopped on the runway and had emergency crews check for deflated tires and possible hot brakes; none were noted and we taxied to the gate. Subsequent inspection by maintenance found no problems and the following take-off and landing were uneventful.I was pilot flying and during takeoff roll I inadvertently pressed the brakes while correcting for drift. My feet were not in their normal position due to distraction.contributing factors included a short single-engine taxi; late receipt of our final weights and being number one for takeoff. Then we missed the turn when cleared to line up and wait and had to make a 270 degree turn back to the runway; which further exacerbated the situation.my corrective action for the future boils down to 'don't press the brakes during the takeoff roll.'

Title: Rushed by pre-takeoff duties during a short taxi the First Officer of an A321 inadvertently used brakes to correct for drift on the takeoff roll which triggered a low speed RTO due to autobrake initation.
