The Dutch forward was dismissed after receiving two yellow cards in the space of two minutes on the stroke of half time. His team subsequently lost the match 3-1.
Babel, clearly disgruntled by the decision, announced on Twitter: "I don't know, I think the ref was on drugs."
The German Football Federation (DFB) is now investigating the 25-year-old, and its disciplinary committee has demanded a statement from the player.
While playing for Liverpool in January 2011, Babel received and £10,000 fine for posting a mocked-up image of referee Howard Webb in a Manchester United shirt on the social networking site.
