Basically what you were doing was loitering, which is at the very least, an ordinance violation in most places. Since you are on private property, the management has every right to remove anyone from the property they want, for any reason. You could complain but you have no legal recourse.
How long had it been since you made your last purchase? Keep in mind that most businesses are there to make money, not to give college people a place to spend half of their day. Balancing the fine line between keeping customers happy by letting them stay or finding them a seat is tough. They are going to win and lose every time. You can either try again or find a new place to study.
