You were definitely wronged on this one. Unfortunately you weren't familiar enough with the Rules to put your foot down.
You can remove all the loose impediments you want (as long as your ball doesn't move and you're not placing them anywhere to help you), you can ground your club in a Penalty Area and you're not disqualified for not including penalty strokes you didn't know you received (which you didn't).
Get yourself one of these and start reading:

You might also want to buy the actual Rules of Golf book (don't buy the Player's Edition, it's horrible) or download the rules application onto your phone.
Also, if something sounds fishy, you can also always ask the other person to show the rule in the rules book, those who do know the rules are usually willing to do so or calmly agree to resolve the issue after the round. Those who don't know the actual rules will get mad at you for questioning their "authority" and refuse to do that.
