It's likely that class is numeric and you actually want factor
(regression tree vs classification tree).
str(echoknn.train) will show you.
By saying, "I have to build a tree classifier" you make me think that
this is a course assignment. If it is, you should perhaps talk to your
instructor. If not, then a more detailed and reproducible example will
usually get you a more informative answer, since it will allow people
to actually run and debug your code.
