From what I know, you really have to look at which origin do you want to follow. The 4 caste system prevalent in hindu religion doesn't specify Newar into one single category as far as I know. Now, if you look at Muluki Ain (By Janga Bahadur) I believe there is a mention of Newar brahmin which fall into second class. Muluki ain puts Chhetri and Brahmins (those who wear janais) in first class.
I want to quote Bhanu Bhakta here to remind what we're talking about after all is said and done:
Chhetri ko chhoro tyo pau chunchha, ghina le chhudaina
Manisa thulo dila le hunchha, jata le hudaina.
