In the first sentence, "below" is being used as an adjective, telling us about the bar graph.http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/arts/writcent/hypergrammar/adjectve.html
You can write it as you have in the second version, but that sentence is considered "wordy." (Too many words to say something simpler.) The first sentence is better.
