Umpires judgement stands. Until he is persuaded that the facts do not support the judgement and changes the call.
In this case you should have ASKED, "Did he tag him with the ball?". Then you could have asked " If the ball is on the ground, did he have control?". If the answers are yes and yes, then you have nothing further to talk about and should continue the game. IF you get a no in there, then you could ask, "How can he be out then?". Then settle for that answer and move on.
