Unless there are some special circumstances, if you are fired because you refused to accept a new position, then no you cannot collect unemployment. By refusing you gave your employer just cause to let you go. It is not the same as if you were laid off because of downsizing.
In New York, you are what is considered an "At Will" employee. That means that an employer doesn't need at reason to let you go but in this case you would have given them one.
Take the demotion (and i assume lesser pay) and start your hunt for a new job. At least this way you'll have money coming in.

Can you collect unemployment if you are demoted to part time due to poor performance?
Yes, it is possible. When your income is reduced from what your hiring was agreed to, you can be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. What needs to be determined by the state is whether the reason for the demotion disqualifies you.

Each state has it's own criteria for determining eligibility, but changing titles or responsibilities while still being paid the same is not generally considered cause for unemployment. Check with your unemployment office to determine their rules for eligibility
