    Sorry but according to wikipedia the banana is a "epigynous berries or false berries", "Berries which develop from an inferior ovary" "as opposed to true berries which develop from a superior ovary"
    However you are also right because berries ARE fruit, as apposed to a vegetable. So according to wikipedia you are both right Bananna's are a fruit in the sub class of berry. .
