Means he's not low class, vulgar, crass, and unsophisticated. And that the person has good breeding and manners.

It means to have style or be elegant. And yes, it means that insulting people is classless or low class, not classy. To be classy, one must behave in a refined manner, and that doesn't include insulting people.

Someone is saying that someone else has too much class to insult people.
Classy also means things like sophisticated, educated, well-spoken and well-dressed. It also means well-mannered, and that is the meaning of the word as used here.

"You don't have to be well dressed or have a lot of money to look and be classy. Class is what comes from the inside. It is your actions, reactions, facial expressions, ability to take a compliment, decline an invitation and overall how you carry yourself in life."
