My application supports iOS 6.1. How do I find and install that simulator in Xcode 6?

The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators. But you cannot run them directly. You need to build your application on the simulator, and then you can run it.
You can also run iOS and tvOS apps on a wireless device if you pair the device with Xcode. For example, you can pair an Apple TV that's already on your network with Xcode so it appears as a run destination in the toolbar.
Open up a project in Xcode and click on the device near the Run ▶ button at the top left of your Xcode screen. Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application.
In Xcode 6 beta 3, iOS simulator for iOS version 6.x seems to be deprecated.
Apple deprecates old technologies very aggressively. Formaly saying, you should deprecate support for older version of OSes such as 6.x.
Anyway in practice, we have situation that we can't do it. If the Xcode doesn't provide older version of simulator, then the only regular way to do this is installing older version of Xcode.
Install Xcode 5 and run its simulator manually. ([Xcode] -> [Open Developer Tools] -> [iOS Simulator])
Each Xcode versions can be installed and run side-by-side. See here to know how to get old Xcode versions.
Currently you can just use Xcode 5.x.
