I would suspect you installed the X Server functionality which in turn 
installed the X Windows version of that program. To start xemacs without 
it starting a new window use the "-nw' command line option (xemacs -nw). 
You should be able to do this from the non-X cygwin terminal (the one 
you refer to as the black windows)
