Extracting sequence names from phylogenetic tree (in newick format or MEGA)?

I would like to extract the sequence names of a certain node of a phylogenetic tree built in MEGA.

Since there are quite a lot of sequence of the node (up to thousand), is there a method to extract the sequence names by specifying a node either using the newick format or MEGA?

Thanks!

phylogenetic tree

It won't be super simple, but you can access nodes and their descendents in the object model of ETE3 and Dendropy. You would need to know the node ID ahead of time though I think.
