If "Enable assistive devices" is enabled (see 
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.06/UserInterfaceScripting/index.html), 
something like

tell application "System Events"
	tell process "TextMate"
		set frontmost to true
		click menu item "New" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
	end tell
end tell

should do it. Or as a shell script:

osascript <<APPLESCRIPT
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "TextMate"
		set frontmost to true
		click menu item "New" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
	end tell
end tell
