A fine strike from Luis Sinisterra, who then won a penalty for Mateusz Klich to double the lead, gave the hosts a strong advantage but the Tykes responded.
Mads Andersen pulled one back with a diving header and the visitors were denied an equaliser when Callum Styles' penalty hit the post.
Tempers flared at times in the second half but Klich's second before the hour wrapped up the win.
Newcastle United survived a scare against League Two Tranmere Rovers to join Leeds in the next round with a 2-1 success.
The Premier League side were stunned when Elliott Nevitt gave the hosts the lead against the run of play at Prenton Park but Jamaal Lascelles levelled before the break.
Kiwi striker Chris Wood eased nerves by heading Newcastle ahead from a Kieran Trippier corner seven minutes after the interval and Eddie Howe's side held on.
"This wasn't about free-flowing football as much as we wanted it to be. We didn't really get in any rhythm with the ball. Although we had a lot of it, I don't think we penetrated enough," Howe said.
"But what we did do well is we dug in and found a way to win."
The third top-flight team in action on Wednesday night, Brighton & Hove Albion, also avoided a shock as they eased through with a 3-0 win at League One Forest Green.
Deniz Undav and Steve Alzate both struck late in the first half to put the much-changed Seagulls in control and Evan Ferguson added a third in the 90th minute.
Kane Wilson and Antoine Semenyo scored late on as Championship Bristol City claimed a 3-1 win over League One Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park.
Dylan Kadji's early effort was cancelled out by Ali Al-Hamadi but Wilson turned the tie back in the Robins' favour in the 77th minute and Semenyo sealed it in added time.
